A Kenyan on Twitter has warmed thousands of hearts after his father-son Naivasha moment won him massive plaudits online.

Dennoh Spinner, who, on Twitter, describes himself as an 'entrepreneur, content producer and East Africa's hype MC', took to Twitter to update his 3,000+ followers of his upcoming Naivasha trip, to watch the WRC Safari Rally. 

While sharing a photo of himself and his son leaning against his car, he wrote, "Vashaa you ain't even ready. Taji wendo incoming for WRC! It's a boys weekend out..."

In the pic, the father and son duo also appeared to have packed heavily for the upcoming trip.

Five hours later, Dennoh updated his eager followers on the current state of his father-son Naivasha outing, writing," Keizdikei (KZK) chilling hapa Kedong...With my Ninja Taji Wendo!"

And then came the tweet which almost broke Kenyan Twitter.

At around 9.30am, Saturday morning, Dennoh, who had now created anxiety online, sought to update his followers on how the rally trip was fairing, so far.

While sharing a photo of the twosome seated side-by-side and gazing lovingly into each other, as both smiled and held aloft a glass of Minute Maid juice, Dennoh wrote, "Tumebakisha 3k na hata hatujaguza fuliza. Pure bliss. Memories are made of this...WRC 2023!"

As of now, the tweet has been viewed over 1.4 million times and has amassed a staggering 20k 'LIKES'.

Thousands of Kenyans left a stream of comments and sappy reactions with many extolling his special bond with his son while others urging Kenyan men to borrow from Dennoh's act and prioritise their families over fleeting girlfriends.

 Twitter user @gitweeta, wrote, "I'll tell you what, trust me, that boy will NEVER EVER forget that day. I still have very vivid memories (and pics) of my dad taking us Safari Rally car chasing every year. Best weekends of my life!"

Another user, @Mary_Njoroge, wrote, "While you're taking your slay queens, a great dad took his son! WOW! This is what fatherhood means."

On her part, @Lady_Waithera said, "This moment reminds me of the 1st time my Paps took us for our fast rally as a family in 1995/6. I was sitting on his shoulders, having the time of my life & the rest is history. So many years later, the memory is still with me...This is just it for me!" 

Many also called upon the juice production company 'Minute Maid' to appoint the father-son duo as their brand ambassadors.

Already, a popular tours and travel company has reached out to Dennis, in the hopes of further enriching the daddy-son vacation bonding.

"This is Far the Best and adorable moment during this #WRCSafari2023, Wouldn't you agree Tuwapeleke wapi fam?" they asked.

The WRC Safari Rally weekend, and Naivasha in general, has, for years, been characterised by wantonness, runaway drunkenness, promiscuity and moral recklessness.

Seeing a man chose to take his son, and not a little college girl, to watch the rally, spend time with him, expose him to the motoring world and simply act like what a truly responsible father should do, seems to have warmed the hearts of Kenyans. And earned Dennoh the accolades of the year.
