Waka Waka Eh Eh... this is Afrika!!
Christmas finally came around and I spent a week in Africa visiting Tanzania and Kenya. During my time in Tanzania I met a bunch of wonderful people, especially a few females- my age, all traveling alone. It was wonderful to realize I'm not crazy, and I'm certainly not the only girl in her late 20's to do such a thing. We had a great time relaxing and drinking by the pool, walking through the villages, shopping, and visiting the local orphanage to play with the children. They were adorable children ranging from just a few months old to 16 years of age- helping take care of the younger ones.
I was also able to visit a local school for the Maasai, they showed me around, the women huts, where the men prepare the food, and the children loved showing me where the animals sleep at night. I was also able to learn about their cultural traditions and how their families are structured. I found out how to get involved with volunteer teaching during my summer months as it would be great to go back to Moshi one day, and stay with the Maasai.
