This camp, which includes huts and a cattle enclosure, is in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzanias Arusha region, within the eastern parts of the Serengeti plains. The gorge (also called Oldupai Gorge) is famous for the fossils discovered there of extinct hominins that form part of the human evolutionary tree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of life in the Msai camp, located in Tanzania's Arusha region within the eastern parts of the Serengeti plains. The Msai people, a semi-nomadic community from Kenya and northern Tanzania, rely on their cattle for survival and constantly move to find water and grazing lands. In this image, we witness their harmonious coexistence with nature. The camp is nestled amidst breathtaking scenery, surrounded by rolling hills covered in lush greenery. A young boy stands proudly near one of the traditional huts that make up this settlement while his father tends to their cattle enclosure nearby. The vast African savannah stretches out into the horizon, creating a mesmerizing backdrop against which daily life unfolds. Notably, this location holds significant historical importance as it is situated within Olduvai Gorge (also known as Oldupai Gorge). This renowned site has yielded invaluable fossils of extinct hominins that contribute to our understanding of human evolution. Through this photograph by JAVIER TRUEBA/MSF/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are transported into a world where tradition meets modernity and where humans live in harmony with both animals and nature itself. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage present among communities like the Msai who continue to thrive amidst changing times.
