Interior

I have been at Enkuso Ntelon for 3 nights.  It is remote and beautiful here, surrounded by an acacia forest there are plenty of birds, butterflies and insects to observe, unfortunately I don’t have any of my wildlife guides with me so havnt a clue what most of them are!  Saffron, James and Ellie have joined me and each morning we have had a walk either down to the river or up the track through the forest.  Apart from the occasional local or herd of cows we havnt really encountered another living being.  On the first day I walked to the communication tower by myself.  From there I spotted Columbus Monkeys in the tree tops but they were too far away to get a good picture.

Night brings the usual unnerving noise of hyrax screaming and crickets chirping which I’m getting used to .  We are the only house for about a half mile radius so the lights attract many flying insects but we are too high (altitude wise) for mosquitos for which I am thankful.  Regardless, I switch off every possible light at night and sleep with open curtains so that I can see the magnificent sky studded with stars and the light from the moon 😊.
