'Kulafumbi' is our family home in Kenya, East Africa, situated on the confluence of the Athi and Mtito Rivers. The property 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. As for us, when we are ensconced here, it's all too easy to ignore all the troubles in the world... House & Land - more info My Family & I - more info

DESIGN TIME
I have a passion for design, which I pursue in my spare time. All my designs are inspired by wildlife and nature. You can see some of my work here:
"We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems..."
When I arrived late morning, one chick had already hatched, and the other followed less than 12 hours later, by which time the first chick, less than a day old, was already leaving the nest, feeding itself and on its way in life...but that's just the beginning of this tale. I think you really have to read the Full Story first, to really appreciate these photos, and the behaviour demonstrated thereby...so please flick over to my journal entry for this day before returning here to see it all happen...
