While the world watches the Paris Olympics, we’re gearing up for a different kind of games: the Maasai Olympics.
The Maasai Olympics represent a history-changing shift from killing to conservation. The idea was first hatched in 2008 by the Menye Layiok, or Maasai “cultural fathers,” to create an organized sports event based on traditional Maasai warrior skills to replace the long-held tradition of hunting lions as a mark of manhood, bravery, and prestige.
Today, the Maasai hunt for medals, not lions.
To commemorate the next Maasai Olympics in December, we’ve partnered with FLOAT to bring you a limited edition design to show your support for the games.
The design is only available from August 5-12 and is available on a variety of colors and styles.
Proceeds will support our critical conservation work in Greater Amboseli for species like lions.
