WHAT & WHERE IS KULAFUMBI?

1724670-982768-thumbnail.jpg 'Kulafumbi' is our family home in Kenya, East Africa. 'Kulafumbi' is a play on the Kiswahili words "kula vumbi", which mean "eat dust", because it was so hot and dusty building our house in this remote, wild, wonderful place. Kulafumbi 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, which is exactly how we like it. In turn, we provide a protected area for the wild animals to do as they please. This protected area also creates an important buffer for the river, which forms the boundary between us and the park.

"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..."

CROCODILE CAPERS: Crocodile action at Kulafumbi > "Crocodile Falls" on the Mtito River - December 2007 (20)

The Mtito River is a seasonal river, which means it only flows during the rainy season. When the river does flow, the big crocodiles move from the larger Athi River up the Mtito, to a set of rapids and small waterfalls on our land. Here they lie beneath the falls, with their mouths wide open, waiting for an easy meal as fish, which are migrating upstream to spawn, attempt to swim up the falls, but all too often fall back down, and into a crocodile's mouth...it's an annual (sometimes biannual) spectacle which is not to be missed!
