Sunset at Nderokowoi.

| Zebras and giraffes hanging out by the watering hole. |

| Babu Likki- the grandfather of our group and one of the wisest people I've ever met. His knowledge of Tanzanian wildlife (and life in general) is endless. |
 |
| Onesmo- a Massai senior warrior who joins us on safari. This picture was taken inside of a Massai women's home, called a boma. |
 |
| Matt with Mike, a modern Massai (as you can see by his jeans compared with Onesmo's red robe). Massai warriors hunt lions that attack their livestock. When a lion is killed, the warrior who threw the first spear gets the lions tail and the warrior who thew the second spear gets the paw. Mike has two tails and a paw. |

| Alex, our resident bird expert. He can identify thousands of species of birds before I can even spot them. |

| Jenny being "healed" (slash having her fortune told) by a traditional Massai healer. I was told that I will live a long life, take after a family member in being a leader, and have a first-born son... |
 |
| The Massai healer's boma. He has 25 wives and over a hundred children that all live there. It's basically it's own city. |
Ab these pictures are awesome!!! I particularly love the sunset, the zebras and giraffe, the ones that show the people on your trip and the one that said you will live a long life and be a leader!!!
