Thrills and Skills in Kenya

Thrills and Skills have been in the Kenyan bush. We have taken a party through the bush and taught the group a lot of survival skills. W e also picked up a fair few too! We made water stills and burnt elephant poo! its not as strange as it sounds, you see it burns well for your fire and keeps mosquitos away. we walked and drove over 200 miles through the bush and learn't and experienced a great deal. We walked straight into the path of a buffalo. You have to back away slowly and get on to high ground. Its different with elephants, If a mother is with her babies she will feel threatened and charge. You cannot out run an elephant you have to drop items of your kit to sidetrack the elephant and then it takes its anger out on the kit.

We greatly respect nature and the wildlife and kept clear of it and watched from a safe distance, it was wonderful and we will never forget the experience.
