Friday Feb. 9th (Africa Time)

We are at Ndutu Lodge in the Serengetti now. We survived the tribal experience. We met the Bush People at their dwelling place in the bush. They truly live off the land and are very traditional. They wanted to share their hunt with us when we got there, a little animal called the DikDik which looks like a little deer. Then they took us out to look for a root called a tuber. The woman of the tribe showed us how they make the tool to dig and then they showed us where they locate the root and dug a couple up for us. We had a young boy escort us into the bush to 'protect' us while we searched for the tubers. He was very cute and serious. Then a few of us shot the bow and arrow they use for hunting. It was an incredible experience.
In the afternoon we went to a Tonga tribe wedding ceremony. Very interesting the traditions they partake in. Young bride and groom. The men have many wives and often do not even know how many children they have.
We visited a primary school, which was awesome. The children were so well behaved and smart. It was a great experience. They sang to us and asked us questions. Beautiful children.
We got up early this morning for a sunrise safari. There are so many zebra here, herds and herds of them. And they mix with the wildabeast because the wildabeast relies on the zebra for the direction of the migration. We have seen more giraffs and lots of birds. A few jackals and a couple of Hynenas. I didn't realize how big the Hyena is, and it walks like a bear.
Well, until next internet visit...............
