NAIROBI: Kenya’s Happy Valley — popularised through books and movies, and better known as Wanjohi Valley in Nyandarua County — was the playground for English and some not-so-English aristocrats in the 1920s and 1930s.
The key players included Idina Sackville, Lord Errol and a host of other less-known characters who took drugs and died prematurely, either through suicide or were killed. Lord Errol’s death has remained a mystery and there is no sign it will ever be resolved.
