One introduced himself as a Veterinary doctor and the other as his assistant.
Beside their native tongue, they spoke Swahili and the Vet spoke English quite well.
He explained to us that they had just come from one of the herds which suffered from a bovine infection and that they had spent the last two days inoculating over 500 heads of cattle.
Unfortunately I forgot their names, but I still have their pictures.
The Veterinary ( left ) and his Assistant
His hair braided and kept in place by a decorative hair clamp
ear rings and necklaces of great variety,
this vet-assistance makes a great photogenic model.
The Maasai veterinary doctor,
having studied Veterinary Medicine in London, England
now again dresses in the native garb,
in order to instill confidence in his
compatriot herdsmen.
I found it particularly interesting to note
where he kept the money he had earned.
