Tales from Kulafumbi, Tsavo, Kenya, East Africa - Wild Kenya Diary

KULAFUMBI ON FACEBOOK

WHAT & WHERE IS KULAFUMBI?

'Kulafumbi' is our family home in Kenya, East Africa. 'Kulafumbi' is a play on the Kiswahili words "kula vumbi", which mean "eat dust", because it was so hot and dusty building our house in this remote, wild, wonderful place. Kulafumbi borders the Tsavo National Park - with no fences between us and the Park, the wildlife comes and goes of its own free will and treats our land as its own, which is exactly how we like it. In turn, we provide a protected area for the wild animals to do as they please. This protected area also creates an important buffer for the river, which forms the boundary between us and the park.

SAFARI SANCTUARY: the conservation game

The fabulous new Facebook game that supports conservation efforts in Africa!

Build your own wildlife orphanage in Africa's wilderness - adopt sick or lonely orphaned baby elephants, rhino, meerkats, buffalo and many other animals - nurse them back to health and give them a second chance in life!

This is not a zoo game! Once your animals are big and strong enough to look after themselves, release them back into the wild where they belong! Fly on animal rescue missions in your helicopter, chase evil poachers, remove nasty animal traps, enjoy incredible graphics, 3D dynamic, interactive animals and the real sounds of the African savannah. This game looks like Africa, feels like Africa, in fact it virtually IS Africa! There's not another game quite like this one, a trans-continental creation developed between the African wilderness and a digital games studio in UK.

PLAY NOW! or if you prefer, LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GAME, WHAT INSPIRED ITS CREATION AND WHICH CONSERVATION CHARITIES BENEFIT FROM IT.

19th October 2008 : Funny Old Stork

Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 10:23AM

While I write my longer blog posts which will be coming your way very soon (yes, I know you've almost given up hope on me by now, but I AM in the process of writing some very long updates...and believe me, they're going to be long because I've got so much to tell you about...), I thought in the meantime I would post this series of photos featuring the eminently photogenic Yellow Billed Stork which often spends its days fishing below our house (so glorious with its bright yellow, red, black and white, and then with that surprising tinge of flamingo-pink across its wing feathers)...but as beautiful as the stork may be, I think it can be comical in equal measure...

Here's our stork, then, sunning himself, having a good scratch, followed by a quick preen and then - after all that exertion, a well-deserved snooze...

It's a tough life, isn't it?
