What a delight for our Fulani friends to be able to be out in the bush with their cattle, on our side of the river, where the grass is lush and their herds can be healthy! Most of the caretakers are young men, but the two old friends in the photos love to be out there with their sons and nephews, it’s in their blood! These guys are now patriarchs in their own right, sons of Chief T.
They sleep under mosquito nets on dried grass beds, protected from rain by a tarp.
Their cattle know them, and are docile due to the familiarity, as you can see in the photo.
They cook over an open fire, the only difference from their homes in town being that the women would be making the tea, not them!
