A woman who moved 9,000 miles away to marry a Maasai tribesman 30 years younger than her says she "couldn’t be happier" - despite strangers saying he’s “just with her for a green card".

Deborah Babu, 60, wasn’t expecting to fall in love when she met her now-husband, Saitoty Babu, 30, while travelling in Tanzania with her daughter, Royce, 30, in October 2017.

The mother and daughter were walking on a beach in Zanzibar, Tanazania, when they bumped into two Maasai, one of which was Saitoty, who offered them souvenirs.

Deborah declined but asked if she could have a photo with them as she had never met a Maasai and the pair struck up a conversation with Saitoty.
