Hanging with Maasai and more luck

Yesterday we went to visit the local hyena researchers at fisi (hyena in Swahili) camp. There they went on a nature walk led by two research assistants at camp. 

We rounded everything out by all of fisi camp playing volleyball with the BEAM students. 

Today we continued with cultural education by visiting a local family's home and market day in the nearby town. At the home they learned about Maasai culture, saw inside a home, and got a chance to interact with many local Maasai. 

Additionally, the good luck continues. We saw 5 cheetahs this morning and a leopard. 

This is the only BEAM group to have seen two leopards on the trip! Then this evening, we saw a double rainbow over five more cheetahs, and as we were leaving, we saw the aardwolf cross the other end of the rainbow. 

This is not normal! But it's amazing, and I'm thoroughly enjoying this group's luck.
