Kay, the guide, and the men and women we met made this tour wonderful! Learning about the many ethnic groups in Maun and their relationship to each other, gave us a new appreciation for the country. Most impressive was learning about how they care for a mother after she has given birth. You'll have to go on the tour to learn about that!
We also learned about the traditions the couple must go through before marriage.
I loved meeting the artisans at the many tour stops, especially the women who make the baskets. Each basket has an extraordinary story (could be about zebras, turtles, giraffes, etc). The sisters make the best baskets in the country in my opinion. I wish I would have purchased more. I even tried my hand at making a basket but was a total failure, lol.
Lunch was delish at Planet Culture.
Lastly, I enjoyed learning about the meaning of a person's name. It often had a long story behind it which gave me an even deeper understanding of the culture.
