A sign confirming it! We travelled up much of the Rift Valley while in East Africa.
We drove through northern Kenya on our way to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I really did love bush camping here.
Drive drive drive :)
Local ladies and their camels
Drive. Stop. Nala has a broken mirror. Fix with duct tape.
All better now!
First night bush camping.
We crossed into Ethiopia and immediately noticed how populated it all is. Some countries here you could go forever without seeing another village but here it was impossible to even find a quiet spot to pull over for lunch. Just village after village after village.
One stop was at what is known as 'the singing wells'. It is a series of key shaped wells dug in a valley. It is for the herders to get water for their livestock.
The valley
Down down down...
This is what bush camping does
Looking down into the depths of the well, I saw how low the water level was. What the herders do is form a conveyer belt and pass up buckets of water until it reaches the top. They are called the singing wells because as the work is done, everybody sings. And the valley is filled with music.
After five nights of bush camping, we made it to Addis. Shower time!
