Big thank you to all, .. not sure who to thank for the fruit!!!
Category: Milgis lugga, Northern Frontier District | Date: Sep 16 2009 | By: milgistrust
Yes we have had the most wonderful crop of fruit along the luggas, the Salvadora Persica, against all odds is fruiting furiously.. Another of natures amazing rescue packets just when things looked really bad… As you walk through the Salvadora, the bird song is deafening, the baboons are all talking, Every one is eating Salvadora fruit!!….Wish I could play the sounds, as I took these two photographs.. The first picture was meant to be of a bird , but it flew away!, so I had to settle with Lentokunye gorging on fruit, while out on a patrol!!…
Salvadora fruit.. It has a very peppery taste to it…
‘Breakfast’ in the Milgis!
Not only have we received this beautiful fruit but also a wind fall of donations, from 3 kind people… I THANK Phillipp, Wanda, and Anna… for being so generous this time… and would like to assure you all again that every donation is so much appreciated.. What can we say but thank you a million….
I am off to do some filming ‘Elephants and Samburu’, and their life together, down on the Milgis for the next two weeks, should be very interesting…..
Finally, I was sleeping under the stars on the last full moon, and woke up in the middle of the night to this wonderful sight.. The planet is Jupiter!! The ring was gone about ten minutes later… This has got to be bringing us good news!
I reckon this is a good sign… FOR LOTS OF RAIN!?

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!

Hi Helen! I’ve been reading your posts and you’re definitely getting the rough end of the pineapple out there. I truly hope some good things happen in the Milgis soon, for all the life forms who live there.
BTW, Mina is done with chemo as of two weeks ago and is in remission. Don’t know how long it will last, but we’re enjoying the time that she feels good again.
Take care,
s.
