Slighty Off Topic..."Kenya" or " Keen-ya"...?

writes In message Pat Anderson wrote: We haven`t been, too expensive as you say. It`s the Craig family at Lewa, the father is David and the two sons are Will and Ian, Ian is the one seen on "Game Rangers". I`ve got a VHS recording of a programme of David Craig taking some tourists out to see an elephant named Gilbert, who was something of a character, in the film there is a clip about the arrival of the family many years ago. One other thing to do with "Game Rangers", the operations manager, Richard Moller, after I wrote to say how much I`d enjoyed the series, replied and it turns out he used to come fishing in Kamburu dam, where we were, and fished with our son, Stuart, this was in the eighties... small world! You are right about Jos Grant, he was Elspeth`s father, her mother was Nellie Grant. Ah, yes. I now think (grief, I went from 'blonde moments' to 'senior moments' far too quickly!) that the former owner of Rusinga, Willie Grant was the connection with Jos Grant, his wife is, I think, a sister of the Craigs at Lewa. My memory is all over the place. BRW - loved the Natural World prog tonight about Gabon's wildlife: looks fantastic! Wonder if they'll be taking visitors by the time I retire. Slainte Liz Liz, hakuna matata, we all do it! Yes, Gabon tonight was wonderful, the forest elephants and the lowland gorillas in the water, so different to East African ones. I was amazed when I saw hippos and elephants in the sea!! Andy was in Gabon working but only for three months, he told me that he had also seen hippos in the sea at Bonny, which is an island off Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I did read this week that visitors are going to parts of the Congo, despite the possible dangers, to see wildlife so there may be visitors to Gabon`s parks, not sure if they have the infrastructure for tourists.
