Phil Ruth and I spent some time on Chololo Ranch during our travels through Kenya during 1980. The crazy lady in charge was
Florence Schieren. We have stories.
Phil was able to dig up this information on Florence.

We stayed in a mud hut at Chololo ranch. It turned out that mud hut living is not nearly as idyllic as I imagined. This is from my journal.
