Maasai Women Walking to the Monthly Maasai Open-Air Market in Mosquito Creek, Tanzaniac
Our first stop leaving the Crater is Mto Wa Mbu Kijiji - Swahili for Mosquito Creek. As the name implies, mosquitos—and malaria—have reeked havoc here. The Tanzania government brought in mosquito nets and the problem is now in hand. The women walking to the shops are colorful. Passing through town on the day of the monthly Maasai Open-Air Market, we pass women bringing there goods to sell.
