Out in this particular village, we get to sleep on the roof each night - which can be a little tricky getting down in the morning before having that cup of coffee to wake me up. The history of the village is quite a rich one. Up until just 25-30 years past, there was plenty of wildlife that used to roam the area. Everything from lions to elephants shared the forests with the Nuni people; so each night they would climb up on the roof to seek protection from anything that might be roaming below. Now with the forests depleted and all the wildlife long gone, the roofs are used for storage and guest sleeping quarters.

Yah, I guess under those conditions you're even more happy to get that first cup of coffee in the morning - seeing how it means you were successful 'down the pole.' - Benjamin Viola
