Extractions: develop a more holistic approach to conservation. Joined in their quest by wildlife scientist Melly Reuling and the Peterson Brothers of Dorobo Safaris, they address the problems arising from the pressures of developing Africa and the effects on its people, environment and wildlife. Helping communities living in wilderness areas take charge of natural resources, Tazama!Trust works to empower Africans to save and protect endangered treasures for future generations. The worth of the traditionally living Hadza to the academic community is great. So what have all the researchers learned over the years? The following is a sample from hours I have spent with the Hadza, talking to researchers and reading many reports and papers (for some references see: http//www.gseis.ucla.edu/facpage/blurtonjones.html).. Who are the Hadza? They call themselves Hadzabe (had-za-bay), Hadza for short. Most of the Hadza are short too (160 cm on average), but a few, like Naftal, are tall, because some Hadza have intermarried with other peoples. Although their appearance is not a distinctive trait, their language is unique in the world and their lifestyle is now as rare as digging sticks are at your local market. Probably less than 1000 people still speak the Hadza language - which is not closely related to the Khoisan click languages of southern Africa, the language family that includes the !Kung - it seems to be unique. Many fewer than 1000 Hadza speakers still roam the semi-arid bushlands around the Lake Eyasi basin of western Tanzania (see map).

Extractions: Being a survey of the East African interior regions made in the year 1889 for the purposes of providing information to the intrepid traveler, together with gaming ideas and divers rules, for players of Space 1889 and other systems of role-playing and wargaming, by an Old Africa Hand. Beyond the fast-shrinking realms of the Sultan of Zanzibar lie lands, as yet barely known to the European. Yet, though solid information is sorely lacking, the romance of Africa looms large in the Victorian imagination. Few places can inspire the collective mind of the British public than the vast, unexplored regions of swamp, Savannah and forest of the Dark Continent; there the great rivers known as the Nile and the Congo rise from mythic sources deep in exotic, undiscovered places. Ho ! for the Mountains of the Moon - - wherever they might turn out to be. This material was originally written on commission from Frank Chadwick of GDW for the Space 1889 role playing game. The game, alas, was not the commercial blockbuster that had been hoped, and this project was never published. Frank encouraged me to bring it before a 'colonialist' audience. I trust that those who do not play this game, or indeed have no interest in the Role-Playing approach to historical gaming , will nevertheless find something of interest.
Profile Of The Dorobo Peoples Of Kenya And Tanzania A cultural profile of the group of peoples traditionally referred to as dorobo, in the East African countries of Kenya and Tanzania. The dorobo are various unrelated indigenous peoples. Location http://www.geocities.com/orvillejenkins/profiles/dorobo.html
Extractions: Status : 1% Christian Location : The "Dorobo" are not one tribe. Rather, the term Dorobo referred to the original forest-dwelling hunters in the Rift Valley of what is now Kenya and Tanzania. These peoples live in scattered groups in the plains of the Rift Valley and the forests of the neighboring escarpments. History : Southern Cushite peoples, followed by Eastern Cushites, settled in East Africa's Rift Valley during the first millennium after Christ. They found San (Bushmen) peoples already here. Bantu traditions refer to these early peoples whom their ancestors found there. Early Nilotes, then various waves of Bantu and later Nilotes subsequently came into the area. The Kikuyu refer to a people in Central Province as the Athi (the ground people), after the source the names Athi Plains and Athi River. Oral traditions say the Kikuyu paid the Athi to move into their land. The Athi seem to be either the Cushites or the original San people. (The Sandawe and the Hadzapi in northern Tanzania still speak San languages. The Bantu name "Twa" for the pygmies in Rwanda-Burundi-Zaire is the same word the Zulus use for the Khoisan click-language speakers they found in their early migrations into what is now Natal Province. There is still a San tribe there today called Twa.)

Extractions: The Samburu people inhabit an arid region in northern Kenya. They have traditionally herded cattle, though lately some have taken up farming. Others have started raising camels, which do well in this dry area. The Samburu share many customs with the Masai Like the Masai, the Samburu have rather elaborate "coming of age" traditions. Boys are circumcised in their early teens in a ceremony attended by the entire village. The boy who even flinches dishonors himself and his family. Among the photographs you will see Frances, a moran about 20 years old. Frances had received some schooling and was able to speak English well enough to carry on a conversation. He told me a bit about his life and showed me how he uses his spear, club, machete and cattle prod. He is from the Dorobo tribe, which were traditionally hunters instead of shepherds. Frances has already married, but as a moran he must still live outside the village and apart from his wife. He is also forbidden to eat meat in the presence of his wife until he becomes a junior elder of the village. That time will come within the next few years. Then, he will cut his hair short and forego the red ochre and tight braids he now wears.

Extractions: Contents Previous Next 2.2 Species and varieties of wild animals eaten Virtually all species of wild animals are acceptable as a food resource to some group of people in Africa. Species which may be tabooed by one group of people are a delicacy to another group elsewhere. Species eaten vary from antelopes to monkeys, rodents. reptiles and a whole range of invertebrate species including snails, termites and beetles. Jardin (1970) lists hundreds of species belonging to 236 genera reported to be eaten by people in Africa. Bushmeat is eaten as fresh meat, smoked, salted or sun dried (biltong). Smoking is the most widespread form of preservation and smoked bushmeat is available in urban markets in most African countries. The range of species taken and relative importance of the different species have been documented for several areas of the continent and vary from locality to locality depending mainly on the species available for exploitation in each region and also on hunting restrictions enforced in each county. Rodents are particularly important in terms of range of species and numbers taken in many parts of Africa, possibly because they are not subject to hunting restrictions in many countries and also the fact that their high reproductive capacity makes them relatively more abundant. A comparison of the use of mammalian species in relation to species occurrence in different environments and the subsistence base of the people living in those environments showed that hunter-gatherer communities living in forest environments used a wider range of the species available to them, while pastoralist communities living in dry environments used only a limited number of species (Table 2.3).

Extractions: On a Livingstone Expeditions safari, the traveler contributes directly to the preservation of natural resources and the people depending on them. Whether one stays in Conservation Corporation's safari camps, which support the Rural Development Fund or whether one walks with us through the wilderness areas protected through the Dorobo Fund for Tanzania, one is doing more than just traveling responsibly - one is directly helping. More Dorobo Fund for Tanzania: Livingstone Expeditions works with and supports the Dorobo Fund for Tanzania - a Minnesota state registered, tax-exempt, non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve wilderness areas and benefit local people within such areas through community-based conservation projects.

More Land and people. Where is the balance? With the current world population having just reached 6 billion humans and with land resources declining, it is strikingly clear of the current imbalance between land and people. In Tanzania, the projected population is expected to increase to 90 million in the next 50 years, which is 3 times what it is now, and in a country where 80% of the population is directly dependent on land resources, one can find a fine example of such an imbalance and a stark danger.

Although many people envision an Africa of sweaty and humid jungles, much of the land we explore - especially the great wildlife areas - are at elevation levels providing cool, beautiful, dry air. However, even with weather that is comfortable, the sun can be very strong, so sunblock and sunhats are essential. On the coast of East Africa and Madagascar, temperature and humidity levels can be high. Laundry facilities are available at most accommodations. Some suggested clothing:

BY JINGO - Colonial History Wargames Page to the caravans, trusted Sotik and dorobo agents were Like many of indigenous cultures, several Kalenjin prophets a significant effect upon the peoples of Nandi http://www.geocities.com/cdferree/history/nandi1.htm
Extractions: Isolated from the outside world, one might only speculate at the wonder of the first Nandi warriors who discovered the Arab caravan in the 1850's. Those warriors might not have known of earlier Arab caravans, because this was the first notable one in Nandi oral tradition. It was the time when the Sawe sub-sets were warriors and by 1854, the name Marmar ("to ornament a dress") had been conveyed upon a sub-set. The significance of this title might be derived from the major Arab defeat at Kipsoboi, but may have been attributed to the very successful raiding of Arab caravans by the Nandi. These were good years for the Nandi. Part of the reason for the Nandi success was the limited access. The easiest approach was from the north-east, but a caravan had to travel two or three days before reaching principal Nandi settlements. This evidently was not preferable as the Arab caravans diverted east to Kavirondo and Mumias where food and protection was located. Since direct trade contact was not possible, the caravans after the 1850's rarely entered or camped in Nandi, a strange "middle man" system evolved. The Nandi developed tactics to overcome the effectiveness of a large number firearms during this time. Like the Masai, the warriors drew the enemy's fire by a sudden rush at which time they went "go to ground." Then the warriors charged the caravan porters before the muzzle loading weapons could be recharged. The porters bolted into the reloading riflemen followed closely by the Nandi warriors. In the confusion, the Nandi warriors could spear the panicked men. This tactic worked until the battle of Kimondi in 1895.
