Elephants nearly in our tent!!
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Aug 25 2008 | By: milgistrust
Just back from a six day camel safari in the Matthews Range… Our first and 5th nights being able to reap the good things that the Milgis Trust has set out to do..promoting co-existence between people, there livestock and wildlife… The first night sleeping out on the Laana Nikan Lugga… There is no way one can describe the feeling when a herd of Elephants are browsing and coming in your direction, with the wind behind them, and you are sleeping in a mosquito net on the ground… It has to get your adrenaline going!!…Can you imagine how big they look, when suddenly the moon disappears from site because he is so close? On the 5th day, a leopard grunting a few meters away from our tents… How fabulous is that….Very Exciting!!…

I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!

Oh wow, that had to be exciting. I can’t even imagine the sound or the vibration of the eles passing close by.

In the presence of magnificence! Shall we invite them in for tea?
There must have been good forage about the tent. Splendid company.
Best Wishes
