A boma is constructed to suite a traditional Maasai livelihood which is built around free ranging livestock. This livelihood or pastoralism depends on livestock which in turn depends on the integrity of the natural environment. In view of that, all aspects of development, physical or conceptual, such as settlements, norms, business, entertainment, relaxation, transportation, spirituality, family relations, marriages, administration, social gatherings, food, and movements to a large extent are designed to respect the integrity of the natural environment.
