Going Home: A Trip To The Cradle Of Humanity

“We then walked through the muddy ground to visit the concealed 30 meter long track made by our human ancestors so long ago. My guide was unimpressed — honestly there is not much to see but I was moved to be standing in a place occupied by hominids for over three million years. I was in the Great Rift Valley of Africa, in the Cradle of Humanity.”

Safari — Wildlife wonders & the journey of a lifetime

[Our guide] spoke like this: “Zebras and wildebeests are friends.” “The enemy of the baboon is the lion.” Animals did not make sounds. Instead they had “voices.” He told us which conducted “revenge attacks” and why. Trees did not have habitats, they had “rules for living” Elephants — intelligent, social, and so improbable — were wild dangerous but would “respect” our vehicle. I hung on each bit of safari poetry.
