Elephants enjoying a refreshing swim at a waterhole in Tsavo East

A recent project involving the desilting of waterholes in Tsavo East has been extremely welcomed by the local wildlife. Most of the regularly visited waterholes slowly became shallower over time as sand, stone and dust made its way into them through soil and wind erosion.
With the support of KWS, a few conservation minded citizens undertook the task of restoring the waterholes for easing the water crisis during the dry periods. After a couple of waterpoints were desilted, deepened and refilled with fresh water using water bowsers, the wildlife quickly responded by visiting  to swim, drink and socialize.

Pictured above a family of adult elephants, seem to rediscover their youth as they swim and play joyfully at the Irima Waterhole.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
