Relaxing Evening Rain Sounds

SafariPod ·

2025/04/14

Send us a text It is middle of the rain season in Kenya. The rains had taken a week's break but came tumbling down from up yonder on Saturday 12th, 2025. Bolts of lightning flashed through the thick clouds followed by thunder claps that seemed to gallop and boom across the evening skyline. The thunder came intermittently after each flash, and left an echo trail that could be heard until it diminished in the distant horizon. The birds sang cheerfully to welcome back the liquid boun...

Nature Sounds for Deep Sleep

SafariPod ·

2025/03/22

Send us a text Often times, we are too tired or preoccupied with pre-sleep routines to notice the incredible nature sounds that pervade the silence of every night. The crickets, frogs, night jays, the howls, growls and a multitude of other indiscernible sounds are a perfect lullaby for deep sleep or meditation. My untrained scientist mind thinks that the millions of creatures shrill cadence mimics the un-audible earth vibrations, and presents them in perfect harmony. It ...

Farm Scene Symphony

2025/03/08

Send us a text Nature symphony distilled from the mists of dawn and just after sunrise. Pristine nature is fast disappearing because of our human nature developments. And it is encouraging because humans are incredibly innovative continuously. What matters now is ensuring that we do not degrade nature at the alter of social-economic transformation. As much as is possible, we ought to keep nature in balance so that ecosystems that sustain us remain fully functional. One of the best ways for re...

Mugongai Forest Sounds

SafariPod ·

2025/02/28

Send us a text A visit to the private Mugongai Forest Sanctuary was quite a refreshing audio therapy treat. The little forest is mature and pristine despite its close proximity to an urban environment in Meru County, Kenya. The forest is close to a highway but ambient traffic sounds did not seem to deter the birds from giving out their best in a melodious outpouring. It is like the day was just made for them, and I sat down to immerse in the peaceful atmosphere. Truly, it is possible to...

Ngong River Sounds

SafariPod ·

2025/02/22

Send us a text Sitting by a river bank on a hot afternoon can be sensationally relaxing. I sat by the Ngong river last week of January, and the show was incredible. Birds can be quite chatty. Although our untrained minds may not decipher the audio camaraderie, birds actually engage in lengthy conversations. They embellish the goings on with song and dance. The sound of water running gently over the rocky riverine woodlot added to the medley of pleasant melodies. The bird species arriving for ...

Morning & Afternoon Nature Sounds

SafariPod ·

2025/02/05

The recording starts in mid-morning on a nature trail 30 kilometers out of Nairobi City County. I stopped briefly at several spots along the trail to pick new sounds. Morning bird songs are distinct from the afternoon and evening songs, even if they are the same birds. The variations depend how the day has turned out for each bird species. For some it is the weather, others it is the food, for others it is noise pollution, and to others it is the peace of the day and so forth. But mostl...

Birds, Wind & Water

SafariPod ·

2025/02/05

This episode is recorded along a seasonal river bed that runs along the OloSirikon valley when it rains. The seasonal river has receded after the short January rains. It is now a stream flowing before it eventually dries up under the intense February sun. The vegetation has sprung up and the greenery is exhilarating. The air is fresh in the countryside. The Kajiado County grazing lands teem with healthy livestock, and the migratory corridors are alive with wildlife. The most cheerful are the ...

Birds Heralding Rain Season

SafariPod ·

2025/02/03

It is late afternoon when this clip is recorded. The clouds are thick and hang low and dark. The birds arrive back early to their night roosts. They perch and generally hang around in their hood and sing merry tones to herald the new rain season. Then it started with lightening flashes across the sky and followed by heavy thunderstorms. The skies sounded busy with new sounds that muted the bird songs in the ecosystem. Thunder claps exploded and echoed in a wave of cascades across the sk...

2025/02/03

These are easy listening sounds of nature. The recording starts at 6.30 am for this episode. The new day breaks with songs of joy from birds. A day full of expectations and opportunities. Most birds are at various stages of waking up. The sun is incrementally rising from the eastern skies, and a golden glow creates a mosaic of patterns on the savannah plains. The sun rays penetrating through the morning clouds create an array of glitter through the tree canopies. Dew is still fresh on t...

Mid-afternoon Birds Serenade

2025/02/03

The birds are just back to their roosts to rest and digest and may be grab some nap. It is a moderately hot day and all the birds sound to be in their best spirits. Just talking to each other as they groom. Its like the day was just made for them. Some just perch on branches and sing or fly by from one tree to the next to gain vantage points to participate well in the melody making. Flies on the other hand seem to have fun buzzing the recorder mic so as not to be left out in the music m...

Sounds for Deep Sleep

Nothing gets one to sleep quickly and soundly than the sound of nature sounds that are only heard after dark. They are unique and rare to many city dwellers. These sounds will reconnect you with nature in a peaceful way that will lull you to sleep or those crucial 40 winks on your desk or recliner after lunch. The cricket, frogs and cicadas rhythms and rhymes of the night are also suitable for just unwinding. Chances of finding inspiration and sparking creativity from the unending caden...

Yatta River Bank Sounds - Machakos County - Kenya

SafariPod ·

2025/01/30

In my quest to get nature sounds from pristine nature locations, I have found that there are not many places left that could be described as purely pristine. The hand of humanity has already touched almost everywhere. There are still a few places left that one could experience nature with minimal or subdued human sounds in the distance.Kenya's national parks and reserves could very well be described as pristine. However, there are cost implications for regular visits to film and record n...

Lion Loses Kill to Hyenas

SafariPod ·

2025/01/27

It was on Christmas day. We watched a male lion track down a herd of three male impalas from late afternoon. The location is at the Nairobi National Park southern border. We watched from the safety of a secure terrace. And a hyena scout is never too far away from a lion on a hunting prowl. If the lion makes a kill, then he would howl loudly to report to his mates.As evening set in and darkness enveloped the valley, the lion managed to corner one of the bucks and made a kill. The scene wa...

Sirikon Valley Nature Sounds

SafariPod ·

2025/01/27

Oloosirikon is located in Kajiado County in Kenya, adjacent to the Nairobi National Park southern border. Migrating birds take time to roost in the savannah grassland valleys before continuing with their journeys. For the time they are in the vicinity, they provide an incredible acoustic boost to the local birds that inhabit the woodlots. There are plenty of pristine wilderness patches left in Kajiado despite the encroaching Nairobi County urban sprawl. Watch the locations...

Agroforest Sounds

2025/01/15

Agroforestry is one of the smartest solutions to climate change mitigation. The farmer benefits and biodiversity thrives, harmful carbon is sequestered and soil erosion is controlled. In a healthy farm such as this where this recording has been done, birds find a beautiful and bountiful place to call home with all the trees, shrubbery and crops growing in the farm.Their daily response is songs of joy and peace. Healing melodies from the heart and soul of some of nature's most beautiful c...

Mugongai Forest Sounds

2025/01/15

This episode is recorded in a private forest sanctuary in Meru County in Kenya.It is just after dawn and the birds welcome a new day with what they do best and that is sing. I do not know any human being who wakes up and sings so early in the morning. It is my contention that the day we humans learn to emulate birds and start our days with a song will herald a new trend of a peaceful and joyful lifestyle. But we are not very far from it because we tend to switch on to music as we pr...

River cascade for deep meditation

Karurimo River flows from the lower Mount Kenya forest. It joins the bigger Kathita River downstream which in turn runs further down to swell the might Tana River that runs all the way into the Indian Ocean. Karurimo River valley had recently borne the brunt of construction of a major sewer line to serve Meru city, the county headquarters. There was so much damage to the springs and the water table has gone down drastically. There was no restoration of the ecosystem by the governmen...
