Language barriers- learnt some Swahili/spoke slowly/ used gestures
Evenly spread work in camp- each member given roles per day between 3 teams
Coping with the weather:
Water and sweet stops every 30 minutes
Covering as much skin up as possible in the sun- stops dehydration
Set off at 5 in the morning to make sure we weren’t walking at mid day
