The 2day Tambuki tour was a great experience and very good for the learning. The reason for the tour is to improve our guiding skills and put our theoretical knowledge into practical training.
On Tuesday 23March we started our tour from the boys house. Each one of the students had a chance to lead the tour and present the people with their knowledge. It was a very long walk but it was really fun. I learned about new tree types, allot about spoor, different soils and what grows there. We arrived at camp and just relaxed for a while then we set out to the field to learn more about that side of the bush. The evening wasn't very busy, we just talked about what we have learned.
On Wednesday we stood up very early, some of us made fire for some coffee. We went on a hiking expedition to a small rocky mountain. On our way there we learned some interesting stuff about spiders, fungi and algi. When we arrived there we discovered that it is a cultural site and we could see that by the marks on the rocks that showed they have sharpened other rocks, we also found small peaces of bone that showed that the people who lived there has slaughtered animals there and we also found different rock tipes. On our way back we en counted a lot of spiders. That evening we did a bit of night skies and I learned more about stars.
On Thursday we were very organized when we stood up, everybody had there task to do, to make everything go smoothly. We then cleaned the place and started walking back. I was assessed on the walk back and I think that I really did well. I am ready to start my guiding carrier.
