I am Dominic Festus, a Samburu born in a small village in South Horr, Samburu County,  Kenya. I am the second in a family of six.

I am an avid reader, was born with the passion to write, and deeply love nature. I started writing as early as primary school.  By the time I was in Secondary school, I could contribute up to a quarter of the school’s magazine.

I express my love of nature through genres as poetry, prose and drama. I write about people, wildlife, and our beautiful planet. I started my blog, Palgladewriters, in 2017  

While teaching is one of my hobbies, interacting with nature is the biggest of my desires. Taking nature videos , photos and documentaries is my ultimate dream. My big dream is to interact with other nature lovers whilst touring our beautiful planet. I have a longing that my passion on nature would impact my community and many others alongside my experiencing what I love the most.
