Young Maasai men perform their traditional jumping dance as they gather to sing and dance during the Eunoto ceremony in a remote area near Kilgoris, Kenya on August 18, 2023. Hundreds of young Maasai take part in the Eunoto ceremony, a rite of passage that marks the transition from Moran (young warrior) to adulthood as junior elders. This ceremony is held by every clan once in a generation -every 8 to 10 years- and marks a new age-set.
