Karoli Springs in the Kaisut Desert – home to the Rendille people of Kenya

Spending time with the beautiful people of the Kaisut Desert of Northern Kenya.  Semi nomadic, with livestock being central to their traditions, the Rendille wear strikingly colourful fabrics and beaded jewellery

Rendille Donkeys, Northern KenyaThe Rendille traditionally live in the remote hostile deserts of northern Kenya, and their lives revolve around the natural cycle of the seasons, traveling en-masse with their enormous herds of livestock, following the rain in search of new pasture and water.

Supporting the Lewa Marathon over the weekend. Our heli was airborne throughout – fully kitted out for a stretcher patient. Luckily this year only one runner was airlifted, thanks to the cool overcast weather.

The Safaricom Marathon is one of the world’s top ten MUSTDO marathon’s – because of its amazing wild setting, high altitude and challenging run. 1300 runners from all over the world took part, raising funds and awarensss for communities and wildlife in Northern Kenya.
