Lake Nakuru Handicrafts - wood carving

Since this was our first trip with OATs we quickly found out that "Learning and Discovery" really means stopping at a restroom and shopping.  lol
 
Popular handicrafts in the region are Maasai Spears, Shields, Simis (swords) and Rungus (clubs), all weapons carried by young Morans or warriors. These items are often beautifully handcrafted as well as functional. The Rungu, as well as being a formidable weapon, is also of great traditional importance.
