It was my first time in Masai Mara, Kenya. Visiting Maasai Tribes and learning about their remarkable culture was an integral part of my trip. They welcomed us with their famous jumping dance where the Maasai men jump as high as possible, officially known as the Adamu. Accompanied by the song, pairs of men take turns to see who can jump the highest. The Adamu is part of the Eunoto ceremony, where boys transition to men. When on safari tribesmen will often perform an out-of-context version of it for visitors. The ritual is performed to show prowess and fitness and it forms a part of the celebration when the boys become eligible bachelors. He who jumps the highest attracts the best bride. To do the jumping dance, a circle is formed by the warriors, and one at a time they go to the center, jumping in time to the rhythm while maintaining a narrow posture, never letting their heels touch the ground. Members of the group may raise the pitch of their voices based on the height of the jump. The vibrant colored cloth worn by the Maasai is known as shuka. Red is considered to be a sacred color and represents blood and is the basic color for all suck. Orange is for hospitality, warmth, and friendship, and blue is for the sky which provides the rain for the cattle. Green is nourishment and production and yellow is for fertility and growth. Together, these vibrant African clothes are what makes the Maasai so distinctive in East Africa.
