![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One last note, the grave is a long way from Karen's house, and when she and the others went to bury Denys, they really had to want to go, because I am sure that when this was done there were hardly any roads to speak of in the hills. Today there is a good bit of development, particularly small shambas in the hills, but the site is maintained by a Kenya family, who do a wonderful job maintaining the grave. And the grave is truly in the Ngong Hills. When Denys was buried here by Karen after he died in the plane crash, there was nothing in the surrounding area. Sammy knew where it was, and he even seemed to have some problems. And if you don't know where it is, there is no way you could find this on your own. Here is the only marker directing visitors to the grave site. Perhaps because he was a philandering big game hunter, but he probably deserves a bit better. As I noted above, Finch Hatton has not gotten the treatment or recognition of Karen. ![]()
