点评:We had a bit of time back in Arusha after safari and I'm always up for seeing the amazing Masai giraffes. Our tour guides explained how farming practices and climate can lead to severe erosion in this part of Africa. Over 17 years he and his wife have restored the land at the Giraffe Center with sustainable agricultural practices. They are working hard to educate Masai youth.
The guide was always respectful of the Masai culture, but he has centuries of traditional practices to overcome.
A bonus of the trip was being able to walk with giraffes! (keeping a respectable distance.) It is different being on the ground with them, rather than in a safari van.
I know the price is a bit steep for this part of Africa, but some of the fee goes to bringing in Masai youth and supporting their education about the land. My friend and I thought this a very worthwhile excursion!
翻译:游猎结束后,我们在阿鲁沙待了一段时间,我一直很想看看令人惊叹的马赛长颈鹿。我们的导游解释了农业实践和气候如何导致非洲这片土地严重侵蚀。17 年来,他和他的妻子通过可持续的农业实践恢复了长颈鹿中心的土地。他们正在努力教育马赛青年。
导游一直尊重马赛文化,但他需要克服数百年的传统习俗。
这次旅行的一大收获是能够和长颈鹿一起散步!(保持适当的距离。)和它们一起在地面上,而不是坐在游猎车里,感觉很不一样。
我知道对于非洲这片地区来说,价格有点高,但部分费用用于吸引马赛青年并支持他们了解土地。我的朋友和我认为这是一次非常值得的旅行!
