August 12 is World Elephant Day

August 9, 2022 By Guy St. Clair

One Man’s Special Interest Each of us has one or another special interest, and I’m often teased because I have three (and they are all reflected in the posts in this personal blog). The “most special” (?) is my fascination with opera. Anyone who knows me quickly learns that my love of opera (and of …

Masai Mara (3): The Game Reserve and Views

May 22, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

Probably the most famous and, as some say, arguably the best of Kenya’s national parks and game reserves, the Masai Mara Game Reserve is famous for both the views and the animals (I’ll try to describe the latter in future – probably several future – posts). It’s a great combination of features, with much open …
