8:30 am-12:00 pm: Field Trip Isimila Stone Age Site
Isimila is one of Africa’s richest Stone Age sites; excavations have uncovered thousands of stone tools dating from about 60,000 years ago (Acheulian period). Over time the Isimila River has also created a beautiful canyon with natural sandstone pillars. We learned about the historical significance of this site, hiked through the canyons with a trained guide and visited the museum.

2:00 pm – 5:00 pm: Cultural Visit with Maasai Households, Malinzanga village
Leaders: Mzee Selendu, Harrison Sadiki, Deana Clifford, David Mutekanga,
We visited the household and livestock boma of a Maasai family. We were given the chance to ask the questions and tour the household, view livestock and gain a deeper understanding of pastoralist culture. Traditional dancing was performed and Maasai jewelry made by the women of the household was presented for us to purchase.
