What's on this July: Tsavo East National Park

Explore the Aruba Dam area and its diverse wildlife, then camp near the Galana River, where the sounds of the wild will lull you to sleep.

Birdwatching here is a treat with sightings of the regal Somali Ostrich, the striking Von der Decken's Hornbill, and the radiant Golden-breasted Starling.

Tsavo is also home to the endangered Hirola, known as Hunter's Hartebeest, and the vulnerable African Elephant.

Hiking: Explore the Aruba Dam area and its diverse wildlife.

Birding: Keep an eye out for the Somali Ostrich, Von der Decken's Hornbill, and the Golden-breasted Starling.
Rare and Endemic Species: Tsavo hosts the endangered Hirola, also known as Hunter's Hartebeest.

IUCN Threatened Species: Look for the African Elephant, classified as vulnerable.

Camping: Camp near the Galana River and relish the sounds of the wilderness.

The Tsavo ecosystem is one of Africa’s untouched wilderness tracts. Because of its aridity and immense size, Tsavo offers the best hope for survival in the wild of large mammals that need space like elephant, lion, cheetah, giraffe, and herds of antelope. The Yatta Plateau is one of the longest la...

About Nairobi

The first postal headquarters, constructed in 1906 on Delamere Avenue (currently Kenyatta Avenue), was originally based in Mombasa since its establishment in 1899.

Kipande House, built in 1913 as a train depot and later used for the issuance of IDs was acquired by KCB in 1976.

Opposite stands the Nairobi Gallery, originally constructed in 1913 as the District Commissioner’s Office, where records of births, marriages, and deaths were kept until 1976…

Discover the Magic of Lake Naivasha!

Nestled in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha is a breathtaking haven of natural beauty and adventure. Imagine waking up to the sight of the sun rising over the serene waters, where the gentle breeze carries the songs of countless exotic birds. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a passionate photographer, or simply seeking a tranquil escape, Lake Naivasha has something spectacular for everyone.

W/ Rei Mongela

Lake Naivasha is home to resident hippos, and at times, the largest water fowl population in Kenya, and is the ideal safari destination for birdwatchers.

The African Jacana: A Master of the Lily Pads

Actophilornis africanus, also known as the African jacana, is a captivating wader with an undeniable elegance. Standing at a modest 23-31 centimeters (9-12 inches) tall, these birds exhibit a fascinating s*xual dimorphism. Females, the larger s*x, can weigh up to 290 grams (10 ounces) compared to the 224 grams (8 ounces) of their male counterparts. Their lifespans are estimated to be around five years in the wild.

The African jacana belongs to the Jacanidae family, a group known for their extraordinary adaptations to life on water. However, within this family, the African jacana stands out. Unlike its South American cousins with lobed toes, the African jacana boasts incredibly long toes and claws that act like snowshoes, allowing them to navigate the delicate surfaces of floating vegetation.

Their preferred habitat is a reflection of this remarkable adaptation. Shallow freshwater wetlands, flooded grasslands, and the edges of lakes and ponds teeming with lily pads become their personal runways. Here, they meticulously pick their way through aquatic plants, feasting on a diet of insects, small fish, and seeds that fall onto the water's surface.

The African jacana's social life is just as intriguing as its biology. Unlike the monogamous partnerships seen in many bird species, females here take charge. They engage in polyandry, meaning they may mate with several males in a single breeding season. The nesting duties then fall entirely on the males, who meticulously construct floating platforms of vegetation amidst the lily pads. These platforms become cradles for clutches of 2-4 eggs, which hatch into precocial chicks – little balls of fluff that can walk and feed themselves almost immediately.

One can't help but be charmed by the African jacana's quirky mannerisms. When threatened, they will bob their heads rapidly and spread their wings to appear larger.
Despite their defensive displays, they do have predators to contend with. Fish eagles, snakes, and large mammals all pose a threat, particularly to their vulnerable eggs and chicks. Thankfully, the African jacana's widespread distribution across sub-Saharan Africa and its healthy population ensure their conservation status remains one of "Least Concern." So, the next time you find yourself in the heart of Africa, keep an eye out for this master of the lily pads, gracefully navigating its watery domain.

Ok Doinyo Oibor

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak, reaching a staggering 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. This dormant volcano is actually a massif, comprised of three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo , the highest, Mawenzi at 5,149 m (16,893 ft), and Shira the lowest at 4,005 m (13,140 ft).

Interestingly, Kilimanjaro holds the title of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, meaning it rises in isolation from any surrounding mountain ranges. Eruptive activity at the Shira center commenced about 2.5 million years ago, with the last important phase occurring about 1.9 million years ago. Both Mawenzi and Kibo began erupting about 1 million years ago.

Because of its shrinking glaciers and ice fields, which are projected to disappear between 2025 and 2035.

Getting There! The Science of Bird Migration

For many years, it seemed that bird navigation would never be understood since observers were looking for a single answer to the question ‘How do birds find their way?’ It is now known that there is no one answer but that birds use a host of clues.

Unleash Your Inner Explorer

A game drive is for the most part an unforgettable experience. The top priority being client safety and well-being, so I am constantly making sure that safety measures are in place and I have a plan ready for any unforeseen circumstances. I am also sharing accurate and interesting information about the wildlife and the environment, while being respectful of the animals and their habitat.

For time management, I am currently following a schedule that allows for the best wildlife sightings while also providing adequate rest time for the clients. As we drive through the wilderness, I am constantly scanning the horizon for any signs of wildlife, eager to give my guests the best possible safari experience.

One of the things I love most about the job is the ability to adapt to different personalities and cultures. As I am currently leading the safari through the park, I am accommodating clients’ special requests and requirements, making sure that they’re comfortable and enjoying the adventure.

Ultimately, my goal is to provide a memorable safari experience that they will will cherish for a lifetime.

Safari Sense is the home of the original safari offering exclusive guided holidays and excursions geared towards creating awareness on the uniqueness of Kenya and the need to preserve the country’s heritage.
