Arusha, street photography

 

Sometimes I get lucky and get contrasted pictures, and I’m not talking about the colors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those coaches crisscross the country, always in the most colorful (and fast) way.

Aerials, Tanzania

 

2 details of a fabulous salt lake, Natron.

 

Another salt lake, less colorful than Natron, Balangida.

 

Indian ocean, a reef above and a delta below.

 

Lake Tanganyika, clear water this one.

 

A swamp in the Selous. Some rains have started to fill it up again.

 

A sisal plantation.

 

The great Ruaha river, Ruaha park.

 

Near Ngwazi, some floating vegetation on a pond.

Indian ocean, aerials

 

High tide in Zanzibar. I love those reefs.

 

Zanzibar, north of Stonetown.

 

 

 

I assume it is some kind of mud released by the nearby river. Interesting and artistic pattern.

 

The historic Stonetown, Zanzibar.

 

 

Chimpanzees, Mahale NP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mahale is the best place in the world to observe chimpanzees in perfect conditions! I’m not on anybody’s payroll by the way.

Stonetown, people

 

These kids have built their own flotation devices with empty plastic bottles.

 

 

Zanzibari pizzas, a local specialty. I need to meet Italians and ask for proper opinion. As for the chocolate... it is made in UK, enough said, I’m Belgian

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arusha, street photography

 

When modernism and tradition meet.

 

 

A friend with the small load is helping his friend with the bigger load.

 

How to not load a motorbike!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tanzania, wildlife aerials

 

As usual, no drone was used! Just me and the aircraft. And no passengers. this was just before landing in Msembe, Ruaha NP.

 

Whereas in the Katavi NP, I got those buffalos splashing in the flooded Katasunga plain.

 

 

and further these zebras and topis (damalisques en français)

 

Finally some hippos in a colorful pond.

 

In the Mikumi NP, a giraffe was unfazed by my take off.

 

Elephants and hippos in the Great Ruaha river, Ruaha NP. When that river is fully flowing, the sand banks will disappear.

 

Msembe airstrip again, some visitors….

 

Wildebeest (gnous en français) somewhere in the Serengeti one early morning.
