As a photographer and vet student i always wanted to combine the 2. During a rabies vaccination program in the tribes of north Kenya, i tried to document as much as i could. The focus was to vaccinate as many dogs and cats. This is the result.
Arriving in Nairobi, the trafic was crazy. Stay Safe!
View from our hotel room in Nairobi
On our way to the first vaccination location
Since it the way was too long, we had to camp in the savana
Early morning view from my tent
This is how we had coffee
First rabbies vaccines in Olturot
Kids on their way to fetch water
The end of a long day
The samburu people don t waste anything when they slaughter an animal. Not even the blood. Our local guide said it was “Yummy”
I love to photograph at night, these donkeys kept us awake all night. They were in heat so there was a lot of running around
Our warehouse guarded by a Samburu warrior
This is what our hotel looked like

Just as we were about to leave, our driver gets a present from one of his aunts in the village. So he packs his present in a Tusker beer box which he ties carefully
In our next location we camped in our guides backyard and his wife cooked for us
We went to photograph the sunset
My feet, chilling in the sunset light
In the evening our girls transformed the canned food we purchased from Nairobi in delicious feasts
Our next location was very diffrent. Lake Turkana is a very dry place
However, this is how our camp site looked like at Lake Turkana
The Turkana rely mostly on fishing
People here seem more tough. Portrait of a Turkana girl

One of our vaccination sites. The crowd was very curious
This image is from another vaccination location. The geography was very diffrent. Here there were plenty of trees and fruits!
We tried to teach children in local schools about the diseases they should watch for
There were a lot of monkeys here, so i tried some camera traps. Basicly i left my camera on a tripod and covered it with bananas
Birds as well
Camp fire after a long day on Mount Nyiru
We did a bit of a safari as well
Elephants are cool
