Our guide Daudi, carried nothing but a gun, and wore tire sandals. At the top we had a geological and geographic lesson about the area, while spotting a giraffe in the plains below. That is my idea of class. The next day we travelled to Siman Jiro Animal Health Learning Center. Basically an animal husbandry school located in the Massai village.
Students attend the school for four years learning how to raise, manage, and cure livestock.
The students gave us a tour of the different animal pens and dormitories, not quite like colleges in America. They then performed a modern dance for us- where they hopped around the room rapping to some American hip hop artist. It was a little embarrassing to see how the worst of our culture has filtered into a small village in Tanzania. After this the director of the school explained that they were learning from our culture and now we shall learn from theirs , by seeing traditional Massai dancing. This was such a thrill.
