LAY OF THE LAND: Seasonal Environmental Changes

Over time, this series of photographs will document the ever-changing nature of Kulafumbi's landscape, and the views of the Tsavo National Park across our boundary.

  • Kulafumbi & Tsavo from the air (11)

    All these photos were taken by Ian, from the vantage point in our friend Rob's microlight, as they went on an early morning flight on Christmas Day, 2007. You can clearly see how the Athi (aka Galana) River follows the base of the Yatta Plateau...and what a sense of space you get! Miles and miles of Tsavo bushland, stretching away to the horizon.

  • Mtito River Views [2007] (25)

    The Mtito River is a small seasonal river running along one boundary of our property, and flowing (when it does) into the Athi River, just by the house. The Mtito only flows in the rainy season, and even then it is sporadic. Nonetheless, it is a river of exceptional beauty...

    A collection of shots taken simply because they are beautiful...while documenting the lay of the land, river & sky...
