This morning we left our campsite and continued on our way to Arusha which is the country’s largest city and main administrative capital. It also hosted the International Criminal Tribunal for the Genocide in Rwanda.
We stopped in Arusha for Eunice to do some shopping and found some amazing iced coffee’s which, given the time in the afternoon we drank them, were worth risking a night with little sleep for.
Our campsite tonight was a place called Snake Park. Attached to the campsite was a small snake sanctuary with all of the big snakes of Africa including the Black Mamba, Green Mamba, lot’s of Cobra’s and some extremely large pythons. Beside the park there was a really interesting Masai museum which a Masai took us through and explained what each display meant. There was a cross section through a traditional hut, the different clothing for each stage of their life, both male and female, and many other customs explained.
It was a great introduction to this ancient tribe and its customs.
