Your Maasai sword is probably Nandi or Tuta (cant see it that well) because of the pommel and hilt rings.

Maasai hilts are generally round with twine patterns under oxtail.

One way of identifying it as Tuta, is the diamond cross section hammered flat on the bolo slashing end and what is the length? Tuta swords are commonly much shorter than other East African blades.
