Zebras are white with black stripes. Let’s get that out of the way first. Oh, and that there are three types of zebras: The plains zebra, which is the most common; the Grevy’s zebra found in northern Kenya and some parts of Ethiopia and the mountain zebra found in Southern Africa.
I gleaned these from an information pack thrust into my hands as we set out to Laikipia in what my hosts said was a mock census for the Grevy’s zebra. Destination? Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia. This in preparation for next week’s census that will be carried out mostly in Laikipia, Samburu, Isiolo and Marsabit counties
