Hadzabe II








After we got to follow the hunters and watched them gather honey, we went back to their seasonal camp where they were preparing a dik dik that they had caught and killed earlier. The dik dik was skinned, decapitated, and gutted. The organs were cooked on a fire. Traditionally, the organs are reserved for the men, but they were generous to offer us all (male and female) a piece of the liver. I took a pass, but I think if I ever go back, I may try it next time. The head, we think, was cooked for the brain, and the carcass was taken by the women to be cooked.

After this, they gave us a chance to try and shoot some bow and arrows. A classic - it's a lot harder than it looks situation!
