The Maasai 

The Maasai, or Masai, is the major indigenous tribe that inhabits the Serengeti area. They have been grazing the land for thousands of years. In fact, the oldest human remains have been found in the nearby Odulvai Gorge, leading to the areas nickname, “the birthplace of humanity”. They Maasai still subsist by grazing their cattle and sheep on the tall grass. There are a few designated settlement areas within the park where the tribesmen are allowed to live.
