The Masai tribe from Kenya and Tanzania has numerous Spitting Customs.
Do you know: For a Masai, spitting into his hand before offering it for
a handshake to an elder is a sign of respect.
For the Masais, many of their customs revolve around spitting. However, this is not any ordinary spitting. When the Masais greet their friends, they usually spit on one another. When a baby is born, the men of the Masai tribe spit on the baby’s head and say it is bad so as to ward off curses and negativity.
