The people of the Masai are the oldest that up to now remain in their original state in Africa, however, their lands are being threatened by the indiscriminate hunting tourism of the white man.
With the European invasion in America since the fifteenth century, many African blacks from the western regions were kidnapped to be moved to the "new world". The difficulty of European slavers to reach the center and east of Africa is that many cultures like the Masai are not enslaved and sent to America, thanks to that fact, their culture has remained to this day.
The Masai are one of the highest ethnic groups in Africa
