Description
If you want to get immersed into the local culture, this is the place to be!
We were welcomed by the host Debbie and Payson, one of the volunteering teachers at the orphanage school. As we arrived at noon, we started our visit with the local dish ‘Nsima’. They showed us around at the orphanage school and leaded us to the local traditional healer. We visited a typical mud brick house of one of the villagers and they explained us how it was made and maintained. Then we helped the villagers to pump up water and to prepare maize flower to cook our diner.
Debbie and Payson were very hospitable and friendly and they answered all our questions about the local village life. After dinner we could enjoy the local dancing and drumming performed by the villagers. It was an amazing experience!
At night we could experience a night in a typical mud brick hut. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the local village life and spend some time with the locals (which you otherwise only drive by)! We would advise it to everyone!
You can go to the lodge with your car and you can even sleep in your car as well if you want, but we would definitely advise to spend a night in a mud brick house! 😉
