A woman in front of her hut. The huts are made of wood poles like you see in front packed solid with mud clay. They last about 20 years and then have to be rebuilt. That's not so bad--some of our buildings are torn down after 20 years.
This woman is cracking open a certain kind of nut which takes at least 4 or 5 solid cracks with that rock to break open. The nut inside is then ground up, boiled and an oil is excreted which they use for cooking and other purposes. You can't see it but on the other side of the woman is her CELL PHONE! Russell said they live in hovels but they have cell phones and ipods (not all but many). It's all a matter of priorities.
A view of the village. This is a permanent village, as opposed to most of them that migrate after 30 years or so, and thus has a population of about 7,000 people.

Wow! You're seeing a great variety of wildlife. Love the rhino crossing the road in front of you.
