Zimbabwe: Village and School Visit

Day 3

We left our Makalolo Plains Camp in Huange National Park early in the morning to visit Ngamo Village. We are tasked with shopping at the market for food items to bring as a gift to a family in the village. We all had fun asking for items in the native language. We went from shop to shop interacting with the shopkeepers.

The women in our group were given fabric to wear around our waist. It is called a chitenge. The local women showed us how to wear them.

We proceeded to the homestead of Bette. I was given a tour by Maria.

Following our village visit, we visited Ngamo Primary School. The children in grade 6 were our guides around the school. Grand Circle Foundation helps support the school.

To and from the school we were able to have more animal sitings.
