Maasai Groom Gets Ready for his Wedding in Kenya Postcard

A Maasai (aka Masai) groom stares into the camera as he gets all primped up by his best man on his wedding day in Olorgesailie, Masailand, Kenya. Here his best man painstakingly applies a decorative paste of natural red ochre to highlight the groom's handsome features. The Maasai are one of the most famous tribes of Kenya and Tanzania. The men are usually clad in their distinctive traditional red blanket called shuka. Bring a little bit of Kenya, a little bit of Africa as a souvenir of your safari a la Out of Africa.
