Visit the village

Learning to cook mandazi at Mama Zaina's. Mandazi are delicious things - basically deep fried bread dough. They are so good when fresh and warm, coated in sugar.

Maize plants glow golden in the sun. The harvest is in. People's courtyards are full of dried corn-on-the-cob to be turned into flour (or maybe local beer!)

Village houses.

The Little Ruaha River - the weir is the beginning of an irrigations system for the coffee plantations near Riverside Campsite. This little 'waterfall' and the rapids around it are a beautiful place to sit and dabble your feet in the water (about a half-hour walk from the campsite).
