The
New Plantations |
|
|
|
As the Kitengela Plain develops and more and more tin huts approach
the compound, Nani was advised to purchase a buffer zone above the"
Kitengela Glass Paradise" for some peace and to provide a wildlife
sanctuary. Her most cherished idea was to plant medicinal and other
indiginous trees, but how to fence against cattle but not wildlife?
All sorts of ideas are being tried out, if |
|
 |
you have better ones please contact me. This semi-arid virgin land
has mainly rocks, some rough grass, one or two scraggly bushes; whistling
thorn, balanites, the odd aloe. There are spring hares, an invisible
aardvark, rabbits, a Thomsons gazelle or two, lots of zebras move
in and out, Plovers, larks, crowned cranes, egrets, ibises and many
other forms of bird life.
The evening "dog walk" now goes via newly planted trees,
along rough stone walls, but still the extraordinary colourful sunsets
over the Ngong Hills delight us. |
