Photo: Masai Shepherd II

The Masai are very elusive, and here at Hell's Gate National Park, there was an adjacent farm, giving me my only opportunities to photograph them at their work as shepherds. There is something about the red cloaks that all the men wear that makes their way of being in the world particularly picturesque. The simplicity of their lives calls one to really question the necessity of the complexity of ours. Hell's Gate is a unique opportunity to get out of your vehicle without a guide and just to explore the rich African countryside completely on your own.
