The Tale of Two Sisters

With every adventurous trip we take, we write a story book for our children about their experiences, their interactions, and their discoveries... sprinkling a tad bit imagination to keep alive their spirit of exploration. 

This time, we published a book on their adventure to Samburu, where they encountered the special 5 animals of the land, jumped into a magical spring, and swam with fish found nowhere else on earth... 

It is an exciting story blending facts with fiction to keep your children educated and mesmerized...

Artworks are from pictures taken on the trip. Most were clicked by the Girls!

Enjoy the read & support our conservation work to bring aquatic wildlife to the forefront of conservation.

Contact me directly for a copy & will deliver it to your doorstep. The online version is coming soon...

Thank you for the launch at St Christopher's School annual book week!

Celebrating World Wildlife Day with one of the oldest living vertebrates in the world!

Holy Ghost!

Marbled Lung fish - Protopterus aethiopicus

Introduced to Lake Baringo "most probably by Fisheries or so we have heard." They have caused havoc with their voracious appetite, decimating local fish species!
On the bright side, they have become a staple diet and source of income....

Lungfish are one of the strongest freshwater fish with vicious teeth and a bite force that will 🔪cut out your attitude... leaving you without a middle finger!

Behold an ancient species that once swam with dinosaurs!

A big shout out to for recognizing my vision to unravel and appreciate life underwater!

They got together the illest crew, and we headed down to Baringo to explore the landscape, immerse ourselves in the culture, obviously catch fish, and listen to stories of life - surrounded by crocodiles!

Karibu Baringo!

Take a glimpse into the underwater world of the Maasai Mara to witness a masterpiece of evolution! 🐘🐟 The Elephant Snout Fish (Mormyrus kannume)— an ancient marvel of evolution, equipped with electric-sensing powers to navigate its murky domain.

The Mara is world-famous for its Great Wildebeest Migration, where herds thunder across the plains and brave the Mara River. But beneath the iconic river lies an incredible world almost entirely unknown—a hidden ecosystem teeming with life. Here is a rare glimpse into the murky waters of the Mara, revealing one of its most mysterious residents... the Underwater Elephant of the Maasai Mara!

Below the surface, amidst shifting currents and swirling sediment, lives the elusive Elephant Snout Fish. With its unusual shape and electric sensing abilities, this enigmatic species thrives in the Mara’s hidden depths, far from the spotlight that shines on the savannah above.

We are losing grip on life in our rivers...

This eel has travelled thousands of kilometres from Madagascar to Malindi into River Sabaki, through Tsavo and all the way into our Capital City of Nairobi... All the journey, all the years, all the struggle, just to be choked to death by the filth of our sewage rivers...

The last great migratory species, slipping into extinction!
