Jonathan Kip (Masai chief in Il Ngwesi Community): “We are not being driven by Lewa [Wildlife Conservancy] anymore or any white person or any NGO. Lewa is still a great, great neighbor, so we need each other. But we are not really dependent on each other anymore. We value the game, we value the animals, and we know where we’re heading.” Tony and Kamau met with Masai chief Jonathan Kip and Masai elder Lela Kinyaga to have a meal in a Masai village. They had cow’s blood mixed with milk, grilled meat, and rice.
