At 1:25, Edward Hickman will show an exciting travel presentation of a recent trip to Africa. This wonderful and fascinating continent has become a favorite of his with its remarkable sights, teeming wildlife, and especially the incredibly hospitable people. This trip, he and a small group of nine people went on safari to Kenya and Tanzania. They stayed in tented campgrounds in the Serengeti National Park, explored the Great Rift Valley, home to the Olduvai Gorge, famous for the excavations of Mary and Louis Leakey. He toured the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. To top it all off, he went on a hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti.

Especially memorable were the opportunities he spent with the Maasai dancing, herding goats, discovering part of their lives, and able to meet the Hadzabe bushmen. The Hadzabe are a huntergatherer group of about 1,500 people, split into small groups, living near Lake Eyasi in Tanzania.
