A thoughtful Maasai man dressed in a traditional red shúkà near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
A quiet moment of reflection near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The Maasai man’s traditional red shúkà, carefully arranged hair and intricate beadwork reveal a culture in which every colour and detail carries its own meaning.
Kilimanjaro may remain hidden behind clouds for much of the day, but its presence can still be felt throughout the surrounding landscape. For the Maasai communities living in its shadow, the mountain is a constant part of the world they see every morning.
