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, ibis and many other foorms 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 delights us. |
