[dropcap]A[/dropcap]s the world slowly limps back to normalcy, we want to share some rare glimpses into the daily lives of the Masai. These indigenous tribes are dependent solely on safari tourism, completely decimated by the pandemic. With no incomes and little to no government support, the tribes have literally been reduced to living off the land. But they are not forgotten and with your kind support, we want to lend a helping hand to this Masai community.
xplor.earth curates exciting safari journeys to discover the soul of Africa and other unique destinations. Please join us for a peek into the lives of the Masai Tribe and unearth what makes them special.
100% of your contribution will go directly to the tribes people, with no intermediaries and no fees.
ZOOM meeting link to join the event will be sent on the day of event.
Meet our wonderful Masai guides, their families and chlldren – and share their world!
SOSIO KILOKOR:
[dropcap]P[/dropcap]eople know me as Dixon! I have been a safari guide for 5 years. As a guide the COVID-19 situation has drastically affected what I love doing most – welcoming people from around the world and sharing enchanting stories on wildlife and the Masai culture. We help as surveillance teams in our parks, reserves and conservancies. The pandemic has forced us home giving poachers a big advantage.

[dropcap]M[/dropcap]y village is not very far from the Masai Mara National Reserve. For the past 6 years, my favorite part of being a guide is meeting and showing people the diverse wildlife of the Mara. Covid-19 has affected us greatly, both as guides and our wildlife. The guides in the Mara play an important role in protecting wildlife by alerting the rangers and Kenya wildlife service incase there are any problems like poaching, animal harassment or injured animals.
Languages: Kiswahili, English and a little bit of Spanish

[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or the past 7 years I have been waking up to guide wildlife enthusiasts through the Masai land. Tourism is our backbone. But now, there is no income from visitors to our beautiful land. The COVID-19 situation has affected the wildlife and the Masai families severely. Prayers for everyone’s safety all over the world.
