Taking guests on a bushmen walk is not just my job but my pleasure, besides the fact that I enjoy to communicate with people.
Walking in the wild is always something to enjoy, the smell of the field, the sun on you skin and just the fact of being in nature makes it already a walk to remember.
What I enjoy the most even having done this a million times is watching the bushmen being in their culture. They are not quiet for one moment, the whole walk is like being at a performance of an orgastra, it is as if the clicking sound of their language harmonizes with the birds chirping and the insects wings buzzing as they fly past you. To put it simple it is just a walk to remember.
The things I show the guests on a walk like this actually teaches me just as much as it would teach them, only after seeing what plants and in what way the bushmen sees the nature would you understand how it is possible for them to survive in an environment that is defined as a desert.
I will be honest with you, if you do not know any better their foods and medicine actually does not taste that bad, keeping in mind that it is prepared by nature and no additives were added to enhance the flavors or to make it taste better. The medicine plants taste horrible to be hundred percent honest, but we all know the saying that says if the medicine taste bad it will work.
The more time I spend with these short, dark skinned, almost cloth-less
people the more I enjoy it, we are building up a relationship and we teach each other different methods.
