We began by crossing the Ruaha river on a canoe which was made out of a tree trunk that locals made.  We then trekked through the Boabab Valley and saw elephant footprints and loads of crops that were grown by local women.  We passed through two villages – Msosa A and Msosa B where we interacted with local children and had a spot of lunch in the roasting hot sunshine! We carried on our trek until we reached Msosa camp site where we pitched our tents and our cooking team (Fiona, Joanna, Laura and Kayreen) prepared our first meal on an open fire which was really tasty.
