I've just got back from my first month near the shore of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya.
The place is pretty interesting, although being well into the dry season it is VERY dry, and quite hot. There is a variety of wildlife knocking around, but you need to look for it, and everything seems pretty skittish so difficult to get decent pictures of. Hopefully over the course of the next year I will be able to get some decent shots of a variety of things.
Some habitat shots
These rock piles are everywhere, I'd have expected to find a lot more lizard life around them than I have so far, but I beleive they hold a lot of potential. Some of these piles are tens of metres high, and several hundred metres across, and were deposited millions of years ago.
Mount Kulal - 2400m
Mount Nyiru - 2780m
These two large mountains form a long valley between them, funneling the wind from the Sahara downwards into Kenya. Both of them almost always have their tops in the clouds, and they both are thickly forested with tropical alpine forests, being almost continously wet and about 10-15 degrees cooler than the valley floor.
