Kenyan Maasai Morans compete on December 15, 2018 the traditional high jumping during an event dubbed the Maasai Olympics at Kimana, near Kenya's bordertown with Tanzania. The olympics are an initiative of international conservation groups led by Born Free, which have been held every two years since 2012 to offer Maasai warriors an alternative to killing lions as part of their traditional rite of passage. It was the brainchild of the wildlife charity Big Life Foundation and eight Maasai elders who wanted to “stop lion hunting by our warriors once and for all”. (Photo by Tony Karumba/AFP Photo)
