About the Furrowed Elephant
The furrowed elephant is a solitary bull living in Marsabit National Park, a regular guy doing regular stuff, pictured here on the edge of Paradise Lake. You can read about him here. He's the real star behind this site.
My first camp outs were in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, the first being an musty canvas tent in my childhood front yard, then later in Oregon's coastal and Cascade mountain ranges and arid highland deserts in the state's southeast frontier-lands. But there's nothing quite like camping in Kenya. While bears in Montana and coyotes in Arizona are great fun, elephants, lions and hyenas - and so much more - make for an entirely unique experience.

Outside the tent I'm a photographing, oolong-drinking, book-making, guitar-playing, researcher who spends a disproportionate amount of time thinking about security and armed conflict in the Horn and East Africa. Packing up the camping gear and heading out of town is an attempt to counterbalance all of that.
So, have a read of a chapter on armed poaching and check out my photographs from Sierra Leone to Kenya.
​
Cheers!
