My name is Jackob Nduya Koreya Lukumay being born in Terrat Viilage in Simanjiro Manyara Region. My parents and ancestors were born inTerrat Simanjiro Manyara. I grew in the land and became a warrior of Maasai society after passing the rite passage of the Maasai in our living culture. Attending my family livestock in Simanjiro, made me to discover the potentials protected by my ancestors of coexisting with wildlife.
I interacted with wildlife with all my life since I was a herder as the wildlife too grazed besides our livestock in the boundary of nature. When I was a warrior the curiosity of safaris met me on the plains as some clients were walking along the way, plains to the craters as I was herding of which such walking safaris of other people made me think. I wanted to do a sort of a job, walking safari.
One day when I was herding at Ewas depression some clients were having their walking safari towards Orkeju/Oturorto of which they were attracted by my outstanding handsomeness of Maasai warrior with a spear, they talked to me because my smile, open heart and my livelihood which was integrated into the life of nature was amazing to them. Our conversation based on the stories found on the land and the magic of nature formed million years ago including the habitation of human beings and their harmony to the wildlife. At the end of our conversation they asked me to lead them on the way to the ewas/orkeju for nature walk, I did it with my experienced knowledge and full of enthusiasm.
As a man grew up with indigenous knowledge of the area I saw the significant of creating Maasai Boma to different clients because I have a tale to tell of which I am not the owner of the story until I give it to the people. I am the founder of this growing Boma, the boma that shows its clients the natural features of the landscapes, wildlife, and the living cultures of different ethnic groups and archaeological sites of the dead cultures
People should not lose their culture, let’s maintain Maasai culture
