There are a lot of different animals in the African Savanna! - I've decided to narrow it down to the animals we recognise the most. I found this video online and I think I will use this as a basis for the storyline and the animals I use in my book.
The Masai
The best known people of this habitat are the Masai. The Masai are a number of groups who share the same language and cultural and social similarities and who live scattered between Kenya and Tanzania.
These people have plenty of traditional customs dating back to ancient times: from religious ceremonies to the initiation of young warriors. Men wear their hair long, arranged in thick locks mixed with red ochre and animal fat, while the women, the old and the children must be thoroughly shaved.
The traditions of the Maasai are being engulfed by the ever increasing western influence, attracting many of the younger Maasai to forego their tribal ways in exchange for more comfortable and convenient western living. However some of the more rural tribes living in the Mara’s dispersal areas still practice their ancient ways as semi nomadic pastoralists.
