It’s 5am and the sky is still dark and splashed with stars as we drive out of Marafa, at the famous Hell’s Kitchen in Dakatcha Woodlands, in Kilifi county, about 100 kilometres north of Mombasa.
We are headed to the wetland found a few days ago by Julio Mwambire and Japhet Garama — members of the Dakatcha Woodland Conservation Group — while combing the vast woodlands of Dakatcha, 40 kilometres northwest of Malindi.
