A Year at Mpala Research Centre. Newer posts →. Karibu Kenya, Kevin. February 1, 2012. Before heading off to travel, we spent a week at Mpala. I showed Kevin the lay of the land through several game drives, and even cajoled him into helping me catch hornbills when he wasn’t pursuing all the other new birds. Of course this wasn’t very difficult, so soon he was out stalking hornbills on his own, doing my work for me. Kevin doing my work for me. Vulturine guineafowl with chicks. Photo by Kevin Kelly.

Green Again | Into Africa
https://laurabudd.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/green-again
A Year at Mpala Research Centre. Laikipia from the Air. Goodbye Moto →. May 5, 2012. The rains have finally returned to Mpala! And now it feels like spring. The serious, daily rainstorms began in late April, and within a week new grass shot up and trees started growing leaves again. While the seasonal shifts are far subtler than at home, when you’ve been staring at dead grass for months the change seems dramatic and certainly happens very quickly. And finally, Moto is growing! The river in January. I hop...
