Niloholo is an area in Masai country of Tanzania. David told me two hours drive. Matt told me four hours drive. It was a six hour drive. Both kids smashed their heads into the car ceiling at least once on the bumps.
We went to camp but also went for TNC work. We were able to see some great projects that work on community and wildlife conservation agreements. We went to a Masai boma to see a living wall that acts as a fence for cows to keep predators out. It is made of live plants.... David and Matt had a meeting with elders and politicians. Cole and Birch each gave some hugs to elders. Amazing since most of the time they are scared to death of non English speaking Masai coming up to hug them.
The camp had some hard tents so we did not rough it too much. Heard hyenas and bush babies in the night. Saw 10000000 stars. Both kids fell asleep on our labs by the camp fire.
The view from the top of a hill shows the plains near Tarangire park. Elephants too small to see roaming wild.
Hugs from Masai.
