Day 2

Day 2

Today we got a tour of the camp then visited the local village, Rhotia. The paths we walked along are red dirt, so everything we are wearing is slightly redder. We learned a few Swahili words and more about the local plants. After lunch of mostly carbs we sat in the classroom for a long time for orientation. They went over the rules and what to expect. There are three classes, Wildlife Ecology, Wildlife Management, and Wildlife Policy. Sometimes there will be guest lecturers, and sometimes we will go out into the field for class. There will be exams near the end of October, and then we will be spending 4 nights in the Serengeti. There are days where we will be taking a trip into the different parks near here. Overall, the schedule looks amazing.
