Driving Directions
Routes from Nairobi to Rhino River Camp (by road). (Consider a six hours drive). From central Nairobi (via Museum Hill) take Thika road. Past Thika and before Sagana there is a junction: to the left the road goes towards Nyeri and Nanyuki, to the right it goes to Embu. First option: going left toward Nyeri-Nanyuki. Drive through Sagana, then Karitina. After 13 kms, there is a junction where you should turn right. At junction, instead of going straight to the road bound to Nyeri, take the road towards Naro Moru and Mt. Kenya. After Nanyuki proceed straight to Meru. The only major junction in the road Nanyuki-Meru is the one going to Isiolo which you disregard and proceed straight to Meru Town. At Meru Town, at the first major junction (see Shell station on your left), turn left toward Maua. After driving about 45 kms over the Nyambeni hills on this road find the junction at 2 km before Maua. This junction is plenty of signposts one of which is a KWS sign with Meru National Park. Turn left and start descending towards Meru National Park; proceed for 25 km until Murera Gate (main gate) of the Park. In the Park: Enter the Park and go for about 1.5 km till you reach the old gate. Do a sharp right turn immediately after the old gate (in fact is more of a U turn) and enter the Rhino Sanctuary passing under an elephant wired fence. Follow the Park fence going South. The fence is on your right and there are a few deviation but you have to always go back to the fence. -

A Collection of 100 Tachoni Proverbs and Wise Sayings
A COLLECTION OF 100 TACHONI PROVERBS AND WISE SAYINGS By ANNASTASI OISEBE African Proverbs Working Group NAIROBI, KENYA AUGUST, 2017. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge and thank the relentless effort for all those who played a major part in completion of this document. My utmost thanks go to Fr. Joseph G. Healey, both financial and moral support. My special thanks goes to CephasAgbemenu, Margaret Ireri and Elias Bushiri who guided me accordingly to ensure that my research was completed. Furthermore I also want to thank Edwin Kola for his enormous assistance, without forgetting publishers of Tachoni proverbs and resources who made this research possible. DEDICATION I dedicate this work to my parents Anthony and Margret Oisebe and the entire African Proverbs working group Nairobi and all readers of African literature. INTRODUCTION Location The Tachoni (We shall be back in Kalenjin) are Kalenjins assimilated by Luhya people of Western Kenya, sharing land with the Bukusu tribe. They live mainly in Webuye, Chetambe Hills, Ndivisi (of Bungoma County) and the former Lugari District in the Kakamega County. Most Tachoni clans living in Bungoma speak the 'Lubukusu' dialect of the Luhya language making them get mistaken as Bukusus. They spread to Trans-Nzoia County especially around Kitale, Mumias and Busia. The ethnic group is rich in beliefs and taboos. The most elaborate cultural practice they have is circumcision. The ethnographical location of the Tachoni ethnic group in Kenya Myth of Origin One of the most common myths among the Luhya group relates to the origin of the Earth and human beings. According to this myth, Were (God) first created Heaven, then Earth. -

Factors Influencing Development of Farm Forestry in Lugari District, Kakamega County, Western Kenya
IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) e-ISSN: 2319-2380, p-ISSN: 2319-2372. Volume 7, Issue 7 Ver. II (July. 2014), PP 06-13 www.iosrjournals.org Factors Influencing Development of Farm Forestry in Lugari District, Kakamega County, Western Kenya. Otsieno Fredrick Sikuku 1, Musa Gweya Apudo 2 and Gilbert O. Ototo3. 1 Kenya Forestry College, Londiani, Kenya ; 2 School of Natural Resource and Environmental Management, University of Kabianga, P.O. Box 2030 – 20200, Kericho, Kenya; 3School of Natural Resource Management, University of Eldoret, Kenya. Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study was conducted to establish the factors influencing the development of farm forestry in Lugari Division, Western Kenya. Data was collected between December 2007 to January 2008. Structured questionnaires/schedules, key informant interviewing, and secondary sources of data were used to collect data. All collected data were entered in SPSS 13.5 to facilitate statistical analysis using descriptive statistics such as frequency distributions and cross tabulations. Significant differences between expected and observed attributes were analyzed by non-parametric Chi-square tests. Farm sizes, species preferences, end use of tree products, access to and availability of preferred germplasm and planting materials, availability of resources for raising seedlings, access to extension services, and marketing constraints as well as biological and technical factors such as diseases, pests and planting methodologies were established as important factors influencing farm forestry and tree planting in general, in the division. This study has also demonstrated that farm forestry can be a useful tool for enhancing the livelihoods of many people and contributing to rural development in Lugari, and can be readily adopted if identified challenges can be comprehensively addressed. -
