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. #birds #birding #birdwatching #travel #adventure #explore #vacation #holiday #tourism #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelling #nature #beautifuldestinations #worldtraveler #discover #travelholic #travelingram #africanjacana #travelawesome #birdlovers #birds_adored #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #birdbrilliance #birdwatchers_daily #magicalkenya #birdlife #natgeo #kenya #africa #africansafari #africatravel
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. #whiterhino #rhinocalves #nairobinationalpark #kenyasafari #africanafari #twinspottours #wildlifewncounters #safarilife #birdwatchers_daily #magicalkenya #nature #birdlife #natgeo #kenya #africa #africansafari #naturelovers #adventure #discoverwildlife #vultures #vacation #holiday #tourism #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelling #nature #beautifuldestinations #worldtraveler #discover #travelholic #travelingram #bucketlist #travelawesome
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. #lion #lionsmating #kingofthejungle #kenyasafari #africanafari #twinspottours #wildlifewncounters #safarilife #birdwatchers_daily #magicalkenya #nature #birdlife #natgeo #kenya #africa #africansafari #naturelovers #adventure #discoverwildlife #vacation #holiday #tourism #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelling #nature #beautifuldestinations #worldtraveler #discover #travelholic #travelingram #bucketlist #travelawesome
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. #commonostrich #kenyasafari #africanafari #twinspottours #wildlifewncounters #safarilife #birdwatchers_daily #magicalkenya #nature #birdlife #natgeo #kenya #africa #africansafari #naturelovers #adventure #nairobinationalpark #vacation #holiday #tourism #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelling #nature #beautifuldestinations #worldtraveler #discover #travelholic #travelingram #bucketlist #travelawesome
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. #greaterkudu #kenyasafari #africanafari #twinspottours #wildlifewncounters #safarilife #birdwatchers_daily #magicalkenya #nature #birdlife #natgeo #kenya #africa #africansafari #naturelovers #adventure #discoverwildlife #vacation #holiday #tourism #wanderlust #travelgram #instatravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelling #nature #beautifuldestinations #worldtraveler #discover #travelholic #travelingram #bucketlist #travelawesome
