A Wildlife Sanctuary In A Capital City

There is no other place in the world where one could fly into a capital city for a meeting only to realize that you are surrounded by a national park with beautiful bird life gliding by your window and towers of giraffe gently traversing the park in front of you searching of juicy acacia leaves.

Nairobi National Park cannot be better described than "a rare global treasure". There is quite alot of wildlife to see here! From large Buffalo herds wading in the waterholes to Rhinos and big cats like Lions and Leopards, this park is a paradise within the city limits and really worth a visit if you have a couple of hours to spare. While you enjoy a game drive admiring some of the finest mammals that can only be seen in Africa, you will begin to have a real sense of admiration for mother nature and an understanding of why this little piece of heaven within a concrete jungle needs to be further protected for future generations. Nairobi National Park is only a few minutes drive from the international airport and its the kind of tourist attraction that Kenya needs to keep its efforts up in conserving to safeguard this globally unique wildlife sanctuary.

Wild Animals Pooping

When nature calls how do different animals handle their business, every animal poops differently. A couple of videos of some wildlife going to the bathroom when nature calls. Every species had different shapes and sizes of stools which can also be used to identify them like you do with tracks in the sand. #wildlife #animals #wildkenyasafaris Watch Wildlife Videos on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/shazaadkasmani I Edit Wildlife Photos On Luminar: https://macphun.evyy.net/KWVna Buy Wildlife Photography Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/shazaadkasmani Get your Wildlife Photography Shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/shazaadkasmani Signup for Photography Tips: https://www.patreon.com/shazaadkasmani Book a Wildlife Safari: https://www.wildkenyasafaris.com

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
