Italian-born conservationist and writer Kuki Gallman was Sunday seriously injured after being shot in her conservation park in Kenyas drought-stricken centre.
The 73-year-old, whose best-selling autobiography "I Dreamed of Africa" was made into a film with Kim Basinger playing Gallman, was "shot in the stomach during an attack" at the sprawling Laikipia Nature Conservancy, a senior police officer said.
