The African Jacana [Actophilornis africanus], affectionately known as the "Jesus Bird," enchants birdwatchers with its unique ability to appear as though walking on water. This illusion is made possible by its long toes and wide feet, allowing it to gracefully traverse floating vegetation. Captured foraging at Manguo Ponds (Limuru), this striking wader probes through water lilies and grassy patches, showcasing its fascinating feeding behavior. With its rich chestnut plumage, white facial shield, and agile movements, the African Jacana is a marvel of nature’s adaptation. Whether you’re a passionate birder or a nature enthusiast, this remarkable bird offers unforgettable moments in Kenya's wetlands.

During our thrilling game drive in Nairobi National Park, we were treated to a breathtaking sighting of two massive Southern White Rhinos with their two young ones resting in a muddy marsh. This incredible scene was set against the backdrop of city buildings and new constructions, blending urban life with wildlife. Nearby, several bird species, including Grey-headed Sparrows, a Three-banded Plover, and a Wood Sandpiper, foraged peacefully close to the Rhinos. On the water’s edge, nearly three dozen immature White-backed Vultures rested, appearing content after a meal, though no carcass was visible. One Rhino briefly stood up in a relaxed posture, epitomizing the tranquillity of a lazy afternoon. This rare juxtaposition of cityscape and diverse wildlife in Nairobi National Park offers a truly unique safari experience that showcases Kenya’s natural wonders right next to its bustling capital.

During a recent safari, we had the rare opportunity to witness a spectacular mating scene between a powerful male lion with a stunning dark mane and a lioness, captured just meters from our vehicle. Notably, the male lion had a pink-colored left eye, indicating an infection that added to his rugged appearance. Lion mating rituals are intense and frequent, occurring every 20 to 30 minutes for several days, enhancing the chances of successful fertilization. This frequent mating behavior ensures a higher probability of pregnancy, as lionesses have a short window of fertility. It's fascinating that despite the high energy expenditure, this ritual is essential to maintaining pride genetics and dominance. Such sightings are uncommon, making this encounter even more special. Join us at Twinspot Tours and Travel Ltd for a chance to witness these extraordinary moments in the wild.

On a recent tour through Nairobi National Park, we had the incredible opportunity to observe a male Maasai Ostrich strolling gracefully through the open grasslands, with the city’s skyline and residential houses creating a stunning backdrop. This giant bird, also known as the Common Ostrich, has a fascinating breeding system involving a dominant hen and 5-6 minor hens, all laying eggs in the same nest. The major hen incubates the eggs during the day, while the male takes over at night. After hatching in about six weeks, the chicks leave the nest within just four days. Though they mature at 3-4 years, males typically reach mating status between 6-7 years. Interestingly, Egyptian Vultures break their eggs using stones! With a booming call that can carry over a kilometer, these magnificent creatures add unforgettable wildlife magic to any visit to Nairobi National Park.

During a midday safari, we had the privilege of witnessing three Greater Kudus—two adults and a young one—taking cover from the simmering sun under the shade of acacia trees. The young kudu seemed to be foraging for minerals from the rocky ground scattered with dry grass, while one adult kudu meticulously browsed on acacia leaves. In a moment of captivating beauty, the browsing adult paused, then headed towards our vehicle, locking eyes with us as if to offer a silent greeting. After a brief glance, the trio gracefully strolled deeper into the dry bush, perfectly blending into their natural habitat. This serene encounter truly highlighted the elegance of these elusive antelopes, making it an unforgettable safari moment.

On a sun-soaked morning drive with Twinspot Tours and Travel Ltd, we encountered a powerful Lioness strolling confidently down the road. Her protruding teats indicated she was a nursing mother, and her robust stature was a testament to her health. As we quietly observed, she paused, gazing intently to her left where a small herd of Grant's Gazelles grazed, possibly contemplating a hunt. Yet, in a display of remarkable composure, she continued her journey, walking gracefully past our vehicle before melting into the bush behind us. Witnessing this close-up interaction between predator and prey under the African sun was a moment of pure wilderness magic—a reminder of nature's beauty and unpredictability.

The male Gerenuk, observed in this short video browsing on a Maerua bush under the scorching northern Kenya sun, showcases its remarkable adaptation: effortlessly standing on its rear legs to reach higher branches. This posture is unique among antelopes and allows the Gerenuk to access leaves and shoots that other herbivores can't, ensuring a steady food source even during dry seasons. Its elongated neck and legs, combined with this rear-stance, give it an advantage in the arid savanna landscapes. Known in Somali as "Gerenuk," meaning "giraffe-necked," this antelope is well-equipped to thrive in its environment without needing water, as it derives moisture from the plants it consumes. As the Gerenuk browses, a White-headed Buffalo-weaver briefly joins the scene, adding to the fascinating biodiversity of the region. This wildlife spectacle highlights the unique fauna and flora encounters on a Twinspot Tours and Travel Ltd safari in northern Kenya.

Cheetahs are nature’s most elegant predators, known for their remarkable speed and unmatched agility. In this video, we observe a cheetah prowling through the tall grassland, its slender body perfectly camouflaged against the savanna. As it moves silently, scanning the area for prey, the cheetah’s keen instincts and patience are on full display. Walking almost parallel to our vehicle, the cheetah remains undetected, showcasing its ability to blend into the surroundings without causing any disturbance. This moment highlights not only the cheetah's stealthy hunting strategy but also its raw power, poised to unleash the incredible burst of speed that can reach up to 70 mph when pursuing prey. Experiencing such a majestic sight up close truly captures the awe-inspiring nature of this fastest animal on earth.

During a serene morning game drive in one of Kenya’s protected conservancies, we were privileged to capture four adult Southern White Rhinos with their massive barrel-shaped bodies grazing in open glades, surrounded by thick bushes. Their iconic horns, though striking, tell a story of survival, as these majestic animals are threatened by poaching. While their eyesight may not be sharp, their excellent hearing keeps them aware of their surroundings. In the foreground, one rhino can be seen with flies on its back, a reminder of the wild ecosystem in which they thrive. A young rhino is tagging along close to its mother on the right, symbolizing hope for the future of this species. Protecting these gentle giants is crucial for maintaining biodiversity. Our combined experience of rhino watching and birdwatching made this an unforgettable encounter.

In a serene late afternoon game drive, we witnessed the striking beauty of Burchell's Zebras, marching in a loose column across the open grassland. With their bold black-and-white stripes shimmering in the golden light, they gracefully moved from right to left, crossing the road just in front of us. These zebras, known for their social nature, create a picturesque scene against the vast savannah. The rhythmic harmony of their movement is a true African wildlife spectacle. While Burchell’s Zebras are common in Kenya, the rare Grevy’s Zebra can also be spotted in the northern regions like Samburu, Meru, and Tsavo East. Grevy’s Zebras are distinguished by their narrow stripes and larger ears, adding to the diversity of Zebra species in Kenya.

On a recent game drive, we witnessed the remarkable feeding behavior of a massive African Elephant, leisurely grazing on lush green bushes. With incredible precision, it used its iconic trunk, a tool that contains over 40,000 muscles, to pick wands of grass, shake off loose soil, and toss them into its mouth. The trunk, often referred to as an elephant’s "multi-tool," is vital for feeding, drinking, communicating, and even showing affection. Its tusks, composed of ivory, assist in digging and stripping bark, while the elephant’s large head houses impressive intelligence and memory. Observing such behavior, from a respectful distance, highlights the serenity of these majestic creatures and the importance of protecting their natural habitat.

While birdwatching during a late afternoon game drive in one of northern Kenya's stunning national reserves, we were treated to an incredible up-close encounter with a lioness. Resting just meters from our vehicle, she carefully licked and scraped almost every part of her body. Her tongue, equipped with rough, hook-like papillae, acts as a perfect tool for grooming—removing dirt, parasites, and loose fur. This ritual is crucial for lions, keeping them cool, clean, and battle-ready. Such adaptive behaviors are key to their survival as apex predators in the wild. Experiencing this majestic display of nature reminds us of the beauty and complexity of Africa’s wildlife.

Experience the rare sight of the Somali Ostrich, the fastest bird on land, during your Kenyan safari with Twinspot Tours and Travel Ltd. This unique species, captured on video moving between bushes, displays its stunning blue-grey eyes, neck, and legs as the male leads the female. Though they share similarities with the Common Ostrich, Somali Ostriches are found in semi-arid and arid regions, particularly in Northern and Northeastern Kenya. Small populations can also be spotted in Tsavo East National Park if you're lucky. These birds are built for speed, reaching up to 70 km/h, making them the ultimate ground sprinters, while the Peregrine Falcon holds the air speed record. Join us on a thrilling safari to witness these majestic birds and other wildlife in their natural habitats, offering unforgettable encounters with Kenya’s most elusive species!

On a remarkable game drive through Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we encountered two majestic Black Rhinos, an endangered species now gaining attention due to vital conservation efforts. One rhino stood pensively, its deep gaze locking with ours, while the other lay calmly on the grass. As if sharing a silent communication, the standing rhino beckoned its companion, and together they briskly moved a short distance, stopping to face us again. Red-billed Oxpeckers busily pecked at the dead skin on the rhinos' lesions, showcasing a fascinating symbiotic relationship. Nearby, two relaxed Coke’s Hartebeests chewed cud—one standing, the other resting—surrounded by thick bushland that added to the serenity of this unforgettable moment.
This encounter is a vivid reminder of the beauty and importance of protecting Africa’s endangered species, and it’s why our safaris at Twinspot Tours and Travel offer moments that stay with you forever.

During a captivating game drive along the Ewaso Nyiro River, three playful African elephant calves put on an unforgettable display as they swam in the fast-flowing waters. Using their trunks like snorkels, they occasionally submerged while an adult elephant watched attentively from the shoreline. In a burst of joy, one calf attempted to climb on top of another, leading to a playful tussle. The fun escalated as the calves dashed out of the river, engaging in a friendly challenge on the riverbank, with a Spur-winged Plover amusingly acting as the "referee." The third calf, in a fit of excitement, began chasing the Plover while trumpeting thunderously, creating a heartwarming and humorous scene. As the adult elephant beckoned, the calves obediently left the river’s edge, disappearing into the savanna bush.
