After
a long day of community meetings, and exploring the reaches of Kololo
and its neighboring villages, the waterfalls are a refreshing escape.
We rarely, if ever, are able to escape curious onlookers; yesterday
50 villagers (mostly children) stood in constant vigil as we rested
in the cascading water, and upon the sun-warmed rocks. Upon leaving
I asked one of our audience members why so many people were
interested in watching us, and one nervously replied that they were
actually worried for us. It seems that the community has a small
population of large cats that live in Kololo’s valley, the same
valley where the final waterfall crashes down from roughly 35 meters
above. Behind that cascading waterfall hides a large cave, which
most in the community fear even to go near, concerned that the
supposed tigers that call the cave home will lay chase to them as
they do nightly to the communiy's free-range live stock.
Tigers and Flies and ? Oh My!
