Salt work, lake Natron

 

 

Selfish people forbidding a waterhole from wildlife.

Scenes in the bush, Tanzania

 

The remotest areas are now shrinking in the bush. Selfishly sad.

 

Fishermen on lake Tanganyika spreading fish to dry up in the sun.

 

A farmer has encircled his property with acacia branches.

 

Small scale salt extraction on lake Balangida, central Tanzania.

 

The joy of bush flying…here a Safari Air Link C208, the company I fly for.

 

This driver was unlucky…to get stranded around inhospitable lake Natron is not the 1st choice…

 

Common scene in the bush…

 

Not so common some years ago was to spot Somali people in Maasai land. The early encounters were not always peaceful. The Maasai warriors got their point of view quite clearly respected even facing Kalashnikovs…

 

Me greeting a Maasai wanderer.

 

Market day…

Random pictures, Tanzania

 

A stowaway bug on the aircraft inside windshield.

 

Funny enough that crocodile never minded to have its tail toyed with by that yellow-billed stork.

 

Off Zanzibar, modernity and traditional eras mix

 

There used to be a dirt road there.

 

Jackals around our aircraft.

 

Some genius decided to build a resort or plots in a perfect dry spot, followed by various officials to issue permits.

 

A rare sable antelope, my only one spotting in 19 years in Tanzania

 

Some cool airtsrip, Mtemere, on the Rufiji river bank.
