Scope and Contents
The town of Longido lies on the main road between Arusha and the border with Kenya at Namanga, just at the foot of Longido mountain. The mountain rises up steeply from the plains and forms an important point of orientation for people in the wide surroundings. On the mountain and the surrounding plains Maasai warriors wander about with their cattle looking for pasture and water. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Life magazine and traveled to Africa from January 8, 1947 to end of June 1947.
