Isomiso lithinta impilo yabafundisi yonke indawo. Lapho izimvula zihluleka futhi amadlelo enomile, izinkomo kungenzeka ukuthi zibulawe yindlala ngaphandle kokuthi zithuthelwe ezindaweni lapho kutholakala khona impahla. Kungakho, ngokwesiko, amalungelo odoti angomakhelwane; Zisuka endaweni ziye endaweni. Lesi sinhlamube sibavumela ukuba basinde ezikhathini ezimbi futhi bagweme izinkinga.
Kepha kusukela esikhathini samakoloni, amaMaasai abheke phansi endaweni ethile, avalelwe endaweni yokugcina, futhi anqatshelwe ekuhambeni amadlelo. Banqunywe emadlelweni amahle kakhulu futhi baphoqeleka ukuba baphile ngaphansi kwethonya elinyakazayo elithambekele kwisomiso njalo. Njengoba bengakwazi ukuguqula izinkomo zabo ziye ezindaweni lapho amadlelo ayekhona, inani elikhulu lezinkomo zaseMaasai labulawa yindlala nezifo kuleyo minyaka yesomiso. Uphenyo ngo-1930 lwaveza ukuthi amaMaasai eKenya anezinkomo ezingama-72020,000, izimbongolo eziyi-820,000 nezimbongolo eziyi-171,000. Eminyakeni emibili nje yesomiso esinzima, ngo-1933 no-1934, ngaphezu kwengxenye yezinkomo eziseMaasai Reserve yafa.
Njengoba indawo yamadlelo ishrank, umphumela omubi wesomiso ukhuphuke ngamandla. Iminyaka emibi ejwayelekile yaholela ekunciphiseni okuqinile kwesitoko sezilwane sabafundisi.
