Today, entrance in Botswana where we will stay for about a week before to reach Victoria Falls. This 1st stop makes us discover a bit more the San Bushmen, which is the name used to named the original African bush inhabitants.
While short, the guided walk with them is quite puzzling, as they show us how they live in the wild, with almost nothing and using tricks & plants for everything... a bit how all our ancestors were probably living thousands years ago, very interesting.
They speak a very strange language, with various "clics" used at the beginning or ends of words, which makes the tour quite fun. A guide is of course translating our questions and what they explain us.
They look in general either very young or old, while actually they are not what they look. The guy above is 24 years old... the lady aside 44 years old...
Life expectancy is about 49 years old.
Here the boys show us how they light up a fire from just wood and herbs, while the ladies work on the food & drinks from plants & fruits found around.
The fire is on :-)
The tour ends at sunset, with a nice view on the bush around and the moon rising up.
Tonight, I decided to upgrade myself from the tent to a private "chalet"... feels great ;)
