Today we have a guest blogger -Shane Dallas – who has supported Ewaso Lions since 2007 and has been a regular visitor to Samburu. We were very happy to host Shane in August 2010 and today he writes about his stay with us in Westgate. Here is one of the paragraphs from his blog:
“Back at the camp, whilst the team were attending to other duties, I wandered around on my own, and though working in the field on wildlife conservation is very appealing, it is not the easiest of lives. Here one has little electricity and minimal comforts. Basic supplies such as food are only available after long drives over poor roads. Floods and storms also impact on Samburu and the Ewaso Lions camp has had to undergo significant repairs on more than one occasion. The fact that people would willingly subject themselves to such privations away from the comfort of a “normal” life is a testament for the passion many in the conservation area have for their craft.”
