Bushmen (and women)

Today we travelled for four hours and arrived at a small camp about a mile and a half off the highway. We saw lots of farmlands once we got off the highway with acres of small green onions, irrigation and cattle. The camp had cabins with a door out the back of each one of them to an outside bathroom complete with shower, toilet and sink and ours had two trees growing in it as well! There was camping available and small grass huts that people could rent. In the late afternoon we had a guide who took us out into the property where some people who are descendants of the bushman showed us some of the natural medicines, soaps, etc. including how to brush your teeth with a stick which turned their tongues orange, supposedly attractive and sexy! They lit a fire with dry grass by rubbing sticks together. After dinner we paid to watch them dance, chant and clap; the women mainly sang and clapped and the two young men danced, but all dances were quite similar.Meer informatie
