Greeting styles and gestures you need to learn when you visit these African communities

Maasai

The Maasai are pastoralists and when they encounter each other, the greeting is very detailed. They would ask each other about their day, their animals, their people at home and other related issues including the weather.

The difference comes in when a person is a child. In this case, the child has to bow their head and the adult would place their right hand on their heads.
