Our home is at the foot of the Ngong hills in Karen. A district where all the houses are on 5 acre plots with tall trees and plenty of security guards. We have a rather large room in a very colonial looking house with a big veranda. The room also has a small office and an en-suite bathroom, but most importantly a beautiful balcony from which we can admire the birds, snakes and any other animals which might appear in the coming weeks. The camera is never very far from hand. Our room is very basic but we have made it our own, putting up pictures, scattering around the hundreds of books we bought and giving the radio pride of place instead of a TV. Downstairs is a communal seating room and an outside dining room, where all our meals are served. At breakfast we are joined by some small humming birds, which are preferential to the snakes which have been spotted in the past.
