Tales from Kulafumbi: The Diary of a Nature Lover - Kenya, East Africa

www.wildernessdiary.com/tanya-trevor-saunders

I came across Sandra Trevor Saunders diary while researching Tsavo National Park. I now check in regularly and I have been in touch with Sandra too. Director of the African Environmental Film Foundation, Sandra grew up in the bush, in a home called Kulafumbi, which is just outside the Tsavo Park borders. By most of our standards, she lives a truly charmed life - a present day "Out of Africa" existence - but we shouldn't romanticize what she has either. Many of us who think we could live happily in the bush would fail to meet its challenges. "Yes, Kulafumbi is indeed a magical place", she wrote me, "but it is tough living here too ‐ you have to be self‐sufficient for everything from water to sanitation to electricity to communications... so when something goes wrong, there's no‐one to fall back on! But we love it and we think it's worth the hard work!" Those of you who are crazy about Africa will not want to miss Sandra's updates about her work and her life.
