Isomiso ichaphazela ubomi babadala kuyo yonke indawo. Xa imvula iyasilela kwaye amadlelo awomileyo, iinkomo zinokuba yindlala ngaphandle kokuba zifuduselwe kwiindawo apho kufumaneka khona iforati. Kungenxa yoko le nto, ngokwesiko, i-astoralists ayiqhelekanga; Basuka kwiindawo ngeendawo. Olu lwamdsm lubavumela ukuba baphile amaxesha amabi kwaye baphephe iingxaki.
Kodwa ukusuka kwithuba lekoloniyali, iMaasai yayixhonywe kwindawo emiselweyo, ivalelwe ngaphakathi kogcino, kwaye ayivumelekanga ukuba ihambe ngexesha lokukhangela amadlelo. Banqanyulwe ukusuka kwezona ndawo zinedlelo ezilungileyo kwaye banyanzelwa ukuba baphile ngaphakathi kwi-semi-orct tract eprintayo ukuya kwi-roundts. Kuba babengenakutshintsha iinkomo zabo kwiindawo apho yayifumaneka khona amadlelo, inani elikhulu leMaasai Tetile labulawa yindlala nezifo kule minyaka yembalela. Isicelo ngo-1930 sabonisa ukuba uMasaikazi eKenya wayeneenkomo ezingama-720, ezingama-820,000 kunye needonki ezili-171,000. Kwiminyaka emibini yembalela, ngo-1933 ukuya ngo-1934, ngaphezu kwesiqingatha seenkomo kwi-Maasai Reserve.
Njengommandla wamadlelo omhlaba otshisayo, ifuthe elibi le-ronumts yenyuke ngamandla. Iminyaka engendawo ebileyo yakhokelela ekwehla ngokuqinileyo kwesitokhwe sesilwanyana sabawisi.
