Fabulous Tanzania

Wonderful safari
So here they are. My favourite 16 pictures from our fabulous holiday in Tanzania.
I am an amateur photographer and subscribe to the theory that the more pictures you take, the greater the likelihood of taking a good one. So I was disappointed that of the thousands of frames we took, only a few were really serviceable – they were good but not as great as I’d hoped from the amazing subject matter we got!
A combination of low light conditions (early morning and late afternoon), ~300mm lenses at full stretch (leading to hand shake at even decent shutter speeds) and rapidly moving targets (sometimes) led to a prevalence of blurriness. Dust also made keeping expensive camera gear clean and functioning tricky.
Anyway, as memories of a fabulous time, they serve good enough and I look forward to going again one day to Tanzania to try to improve on my score!
If you are in the market for a safari, I heartily recommend WayoAfrica – they’re a small, Tanzanian company with a focus on high quality and on customised safaris to suit you.

Hope Texas is as good!

They’re fabulous, Tim! Even if you had to take hundreds, these are worth it. The expressions on the faces are just great and some of the shots very clever – such as the baby in behind the mother elephant. Well done!
