masai morans coming of age
Kenya's Masai people hold a ceremony for their warriors to become tribal elders only every 10 to 15 years, when there are enough people of the right age group.
But the tradition is under threat as the population becomes more urban and more exposed to outside influences. BBC East Africa correspondent Peter Greste witnessed one of the ceremonies just outside Nairobi, where two of the men taking part told him how important the ceremony is for them.
