hey speedy, we met plenty of masai.  they are an interesting story.  they've been there only a couple hundred years, after they invaded from the north.  they are not particularly well-liked by some of the other tribes, b/c their invasion is still resented & they are so arrogant & some of them are determined to maintain the old ways, & westernized africans resent them as being lazy.  we saw alot of them in the red robes with the spears & pangas, or the teenaged boys in black robes & white face make-up for the manhood ceremony.  they are a beautiful tribe to look at it, but we could see where they would be a little hard for the other locals to get along with.  they keep cattle as symbols of wealth & to drain the blood to mix with milk for the drink that is the staple of their diet (no, i did not try it!).  they still herd their cattle in the game parks during the day, but they have to get them out at night.  they carry spears as protection against the lions, which are everywhere.  the dance they do where the young men jump straight up is partly a way to pick up chicks--the guy who can jump the highest gets 1st choice!
