There’s no better security than the Maasai

We employ six Maasai for guarding the center. They are fearless and alert, ensuring a safe stay at TICC. And in case there should be anything scary, a poisonous snake or a harmless spider, you can always shout «Maasai» — and they’ll be there in the blink of an eye.
