The rains have been good this year, the Cheetas, impalas, bush duikers, guinea fowl, lions and the many animals of Africa are everywhere, the is dung everywhere. We are on our way to Shaba in the north of Laikipia in Kenya.It is a two hour drive from Nanyuki. We see a river the Ewaso Nyiro at times it bursts its banks however to day it meanders tirlessly navigating is way through the meanders formed from years of existence it's gorges deep, they seem to deepen each year, some day we shall not be able to see the water except for a deep valley and some sound of flowing water will tell you that there is river. We reach our camp site, the tents are pitched and this time they are large, there a few other visitors also at the campsite. My friends love nature and quickly jump for the tent idea. The sun sets steadily and as the night closes we here elephants in the distance, once they have passed we light our fire, and cook our food roasted beef and 'Ugali' a favorite in this part of the world. After a heavy meal we lie down and focus on the milky way. a night game drive is the last action of the night, a few animals still grazing in the moonlight. We finally snuggle into our sleeping bags. Africa the land of wild wild wild dreams...
