The criminality in the Mara is really going up....some robberies in the last year or so....but this is the first tourist camping there who has died by gunfire and two others seriously wounded. The poor guy was celebrating his 60th birthday. What a shame.
Another article on this incident I found in Kenya's newspaper, the Daily Nation:

Thank you very much - I am still in dream lane as it is not until December this year; but for me it is going back home as I was born there and grew up between the foot hills of Kilimanjaro - Amboseli and the Mara. My grandfather and father were always in the bush (dad until 4 years ago)! I took my kids the 1st time at the age of 18 months into the bush and they love it just as much as I do (Thank goodness) and have been back several times since. I just feel sad that it has changed so much over the years for the worse but for me Kenya is still very much home - although I do not live there anymore.... for now..... |

Cody, knowing you as I do, I think it would be difficult for you to make Kenya your home again--you have way too many interests and talents. Maybe a second home for a few months each year or something like that--then we could visit you in Italy and Kenya. Yes, why not do that? We'd love it. Your kids and Casey could learn swahili and be tri-lingual. The more I think of this, the more I like it.

Jane - you are getting to know me too well!
You are correct - it will be very hard for me to get away from here (which is a place I love anyway as you know) - howvert your idea is one I like.
Every time I go back I have this urge to look at sights and think - maybe some day I can do S.A. (your home in Italy) but make it your home in Kenya.... It is a dream but hey - its costs nothing to dream so why not?
