by Rnib BookshareThis page shows a giraffe feeding from an acacia tree, an African cow and a Masai herder.

Its trunk is vertical in the centre of the page with branches extending to both sides. Its leaves fill the top centre of the page. The cow is to the right of the tree at the bottom of the page. It is seen from the side facing to the right and all four of its legs can be seen. Its head is turned to face you so that its mouth, nose and eyes can be found. Above these, its enormous horns extend to the left and right. The herder is on the right of the page. He is facing forward with his arms stretched out to the left and right and is holding a staff in his hand to the right. A Masai herder might have a herd of several hundred cattle. For clarity only one animal has been shown.

by Rnib BookshareThis is a plan view (seen from above) of a Masai settlement often called a kraal: an Afrikaans or Dutch name for a village.The plan is bounded by a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.A kraal is a roughly circular arrangement of dwellings, with pens for animals, such as cattle, sheep and goats, at its centre. In this plan view the animal pens have a heavy dashed outline with a square grid texture (coloured brown in the large print) and the dwellings have a solid outline with a light dotted texture (yellow in the large print). he dwellings are made from a mix of mud, sticks, grass and cow dung. The pens are usually made from the thorny branches of the native acacia tree. They are put at the centre of the settlement to protect the animals from wild predators such as lions. Sometime the whole village is surrounded by a thorny fence.In Masai culture the building of shelters has traditionally been the responsibility of the women of the tribe.
