ELEPHANT THOUGHTS

Inagural World Elephant Day 2012

" One of the faliures that could come from any leadership is when a leader considers himself to have the monopoly of all knowledge.

Once you have that attitude, you become impervious to more wisdom.

So one thing that I would like to stress to all educated young people is that there is always something more to learn.

Always have your ears open, your eyes open, and your humility in your heart.

You will survive. "

DR. JULIUS GIKONYO KIANO

1926 - 2003



The home of this fine man, hears. His Grand Daughters are a testimony. They love too, too much. True Warriors.

Seeped in an aura of quiet elegance around a neighbourhood literally to die for, is a rather delectable guest house which in the real world should be home to Whoopi Goldberg.

Most dissimilar in style to Ms. Shenzi Marie Predatora  Veldetta  Jackalina Hyena (Shenzi kind of means idiot/fool/twit in Swahili) Murangi Home, in the behaviour of spotted female Hyenas however, dominates a patch of beautiful living right next to Nairobi National Park.

On a spot Rowan Atkinson would be hard pressed to zazu about, where a brooding Jeremy Irons should be photographed in Black and White by Nick Ysenberg, this soothing little haven offers sanctuary from that madding crowd next door. A 6 bedroom fully serviced home complete with turn down services and a wicked Chef, guests at this spot are spoilt for choice who to hang out with every day.

 Near the home of BBC's 'Elephant Diary', with the snappy Crocs of Nairobi Mamba up the road and a Rothschild or 2 further up, Murangi which means Bamboo in the  Kikuyu language, opened her doors last month to a roaring start.
