The Story of the Honeyguide
Our periodic email newsletter is named after the Greater Honey Guide, a bird that has developed the remarkable habit of leading tribespeople to wild bees' nests, with the promise of honeycomb and grubs once the humans have opened the nest and taken the honey.

The complementary relationship shared by bird and human represents the newsletter's goal - to periodically lead readers to new and timely bits of information about East African wildlife, culture, and travel.

Adorn the Ones you Adore

 Greetings!
Double Lions eye
Valentine's Day gives us the perfect opportunity to adorn the ones we adore.  Barabaig warriors often award their sweethearts with brass lion's eye rings after having proven themselves to be true.  The amount of rings a man can adorn his sweethearts with is a direct reflection of his worth, wealth and dedication.  He will have achieved great status if he can adorn each finger twice.  Have you proven yourself to your sweetheart?
 
In Barabaig lands, both men and women wear the rings with pride. If a young man wears one, it also shows to the community that he is a brave warrior.

In this Honeyguide you will find a couple of Valentine's gift ideas for him and her.  And we're making it even easier with reduced prices on cattle bags and  FREE shipping all month long.

 
Happy February,
Another Land and The Amias Project
