A Tanzanian Maasai tribe's singing and jumping dance in their boma
I was told there are at least 128 different tribes in Tanzania. Most have their own language and customs. The Maasai tribe(s) are known as livestock grazers. The importance or wealth of a Maasai family is determined by the number of animals it has (cows are most prized). A Maasai family lives in a home or enclosure called a boma. The boma provides protection for the animals from carnivores. Adult Maasai men can have more than one wife. There is a hut for each wife in the boma.
The Maasai are known for their unique kind of dance -- they propel themselves straight into the air. One of my primary objectives of this trip in 2013 was to film their dance. To see other Franklin Clay Films produced videos about Tanzania and other subjects go to

Documentary Ethiopia: Nuer, history of a Refugee (English)
[ENG]
Nuer, history of a refugee. Pel is 24 years old and like so many other Nuer lives in a Sudanese refugee camp in Ethiopia. His family moved from Sudan to Ethiopia, fleeing the war, and today live on land that has been occupied from another people --the Anuak, with whom they dispute the territory. His dream is to go to Australia to do a degree. His refugee status will possibly enable this dream to come true. Once his studies are over, he would like to return home to be able to help his people acquire the knowledge he has picked up abroad.
The Nuer people are said to have originally been a section of the Dinka people that migrated out of the Gezira but south into a barren dry land that they called Kwer Kwong, which was in southern Kordofan. Centuries of isolation and influence from Luo peoples caused them to be a distinct ethnic group from the Dinka. The Arrival of Bagarra Arabs and their subsequent slave raids in the late 1700s caused the Nuer to migrate en masse from southern Kordofan into what is now Bentiu. In around 1850, further slave raids as well as flooding and overpopulation caused them to migrate even further out of Bentiu and eastwards all the way into the western fringes of Ethiopia, displacing and absorbing many Dinka, Anyuak and Burun in the process.[4]
The intrusion of the British in the 19th century greatly halted the Nuers aggressive territorial expansion against the Dinka and Anyuak. [5]
There are different accounts of the origin of the conflict between the Nuer and the Dinka, South Sudan's two largest ethnic groups. Anthropologist Peter J. Newcomer suggests that the Nuer are actually Dinka. He argues that hundreds of years of population growth created expansion, which eventually led to raids and wars.[6]
In 2006 the Nuer were the tribe that resisted disarmament most strongly; members of the Nuer White Army, a group of armed youths often autonomous from tribal elders' authority, refused to lay down their weapons, which led SPLA soldiers to confiscate Nuer cattle, destroying their economy. The White Army was finally put down in mid-2006,[7] though a successor organisation self-styling itself as a White Army formed in 2011 to fight the Murle tribe (see 2011–2012 South Sudan tribal clashes), as well as the Dinka and UNMISS.[8]

'מה שהתחיל כטיול תרמילאי לפני שלושים שנים, צויין בפסטיבל מרגש בכפר אוניל שבעמק וואגי, טיול גדוש חוויות מרתקות, צבעוניות עם אינטראקציה בלתי אמצעית עם המקומיים'
זה מה שסיפר לנו רז שרבליס שחזר מהדרכת טיול נוסף לפפואה ניו גיני, טיול שבמהלכו ציין רז 30 שנות למידה, הדרכה, פעילות ותרומה באיים מרתקים אלו. רז שרבליס זכה לכבוד כפי שרק בפפואה ניו גיני יודעים להעניק, כבוד שמצביע על הקשר החזק שלו ועל האהבה שמרגישים כלפיו תושבי איים ייחודיים אלו.
בשבילנו, רז הוא מדריך מעולה למגוון של יעדים אקזוטיים ונפלאים בעולם אבל אין ספק שהוא המדריך עם הידע והאהבה הגדולה ביותר לארץ 800 השבטים...פפואה ניו גיני. אוהבים ומתחילים עכשיו עוד ספירה של 30 שנות טיולים והדרכות לשם.
