Heading Back to Tanzania

I’m preparing for my upcoming workshop in Tanzania that I will do with co-leader Paul Mckenzie. Paul is already there scouting out a hide location for some of our upcoming Kenya trips. So far he hit the jackpot and will be sharing his images (on my blog) in a few weeks after we get back from Tanzania.

We will be taking 9 clients in 3 vehicles so that everyone has their own row with an open top for maximum viewing. On my last visit to Tanzania we had the pleasure of photographing some very large lions with huge dark manes. I hope to see them again. The shot below is not artistic, it does not depict a glorious scene with epic light, there is no action captured, but the lion’s stare engaged me as did his enormous mane!

I’m also hoping to get more shots of lions in trees or on rocks. We never see this in the Mara, so it is exciting to me to capture them up a tree. In addition to those type of shots I hope that we get some more bird images from Ngorongoro Crater.

Paul sent me great news from Kenya today- PCR testing for fully vaccinated travelers has been discontinued for travel into Kenya.

If you haven’t seen the Fox 11, LA story about Sally Foster, an 84 year old photographer that is exactly like the Energizer Bunny! (btw, the safari photo is from one of our tours together) check it out here.
