Back at camp, all children assembled at the Nduna fireplace where they were given a survival lesson on how to survive by using the stomach contents, and pretty much every part, of an impala. The kids were given the opportunity to try a piece of raw impala liver (high in vitamins). Most of our stomach’s turned but it was a great learning curve for the kids. It is here that I must say I took my hat off to Tracey Lawrence, who was the only girl to stomach a sip of the impala stomach content. Most of the older boys were quite easy entice into trying. Not one child was sick! But I think most mom’s were!
