Culture Shock
On the northern beaches of Unguja, Zanzibar, an Italian tourist chats with a Maasai security guard while Muslim fisherman return with their catch. Once regarded as a mystical island visited by the likes of Stanley, Livingstone and Burton, swaths of Zanzibar have been converted to private resorts for package tourism. These resorts need security and the Maasai are always the first to be contracted. These young warriors commonly say that they enjoy their job yet dream of the day that they have enough money to buy a herd of cattle and get married back on the open plains.
