La tribu de los Bosquimanos, cazadores del desierto - Summary

Summary

The narrator is in Tanzania, where he has come to live with the Hadza and Bushmen tribes. He explains that he had planned to record videos in Spain, but an injury to his shoulder prevented him from doing so. Instead, he traveled to Tanzania with a guide named Nixon and a few companions.

The narrator describes the Bushmen as a nomadic tribe that moves in search of water, animals, and good luck. They are hunters who respect the livestock of other tribes but hunt and eat all wild animals except for hyenas, which they believe would be like eating their own friends and relatives.

The narrator participates in a hunt with the Bushmen, where they search for wild boars and use bows and arrows with different tips to hunt. They also use dogs to track their prey. The narrator notes that the hunt is physically demanding and requires a lot of walking in difficult terrain.

After the hunt, the narrator returns to the camp and tries some of the meat that the Bushmen have hunted. He finds it to be delicious and appreciated after a long day of hunting.

The narrator expresses his gratitude to the Bushmen for allowing him to stay with them and learn about their way of life. He also thanks his guide, Nixon, for helping him navigate the area and communicate with the tribe.

Finally, the narrator says goodbye to the Bushmen and heads to the Datoga tribe, which is nearby. He invites his viewers to contact Nixon if they are interested in visiting the tribes in Tanzania.
