Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

The Masai Tribesmen make a headress out of a lions mane as a rite of passage into manhood. The lion's mane must be from a lion that he kills himself. There is no lack of lions who attack the herds on a regular basis and are killed. THe headress is worn with great pride as it should be. You can see the headress being worn by one of the men. They even let us try it on, but it was too small for my big head.
