Photographic Safaris In Tanzania : If one wants to explore the beauty of nature, Tanzania is the best place that one can do that. Even better if the aim of the exploration is documentation to unlock the treasures that are found in Tanzania to the rest of the world. Particularly that the Tanzania government has made it easy for travelers to be able to take photos freely without strict restriction and with a smooth permit process if the photos are to be used for commercial purposes.
One just has to obey the normal common courtesy and exercise prudence while taking them and sharing them on different platforms. There are particular cautions to take when taking human photos especially children’s photos. This is to make sure that the photos aren’t dehumanizing and displaying vulnerability.
The art of tourism photography is increasingly becoming a vital part of advocacy for action against climatic changes and global warming. This is because there can be back up evidence for a documented change in climate that compares previous and recent states and with use of AI, a future prediction can be generated.
Here are some of the places that will enable you to take breathtaking images of nature and use the photography for luxury collection and display as well as impactful purposes such as for raising funds to protect the natural habitats or the community around it.
The lake Manyara- this is one of the lakes that you can get very beautiful views of birds for avian photographers, you will get a pink loaded background of the lake made by the flamingos. If you are a good one you can be able to spot one individual flamingo pausing in a single leg distinctly from the background of both the lake and the other flamingos. A very explorative photographer may even realize that some of these flamingoes are mummified by the natural embalmment of the Saline Lake.
A blend of the bird’s species and their ecosystem either with the hippos biting to worms that itch their skin or sitting pretty in a canopy of acacia trees is one of the photos that you shouldn’t miss in the adventure. You might also like to be a returning photographer who documents annually the depth of the lake or the available flora for comparison.
If you are a photographer and a hiker and kinetically want a challenge, then be ready to push your limit buttons by preparing to take awesome views of the Kilimanjaro Mountain, starting with its natural forest nature at the beginning of the hike, the elephants and the monkey species chattering from a tree to another. It will be fun at the beginning until when you realize that you probably needed a one separate extra porter just to carry your lenses! The glaciers views, the sunsets and sunrises, and the carter view will all be worthy it at the end of this challenging photography! If you are thinking of drone, its definitely a good addition, you just have to be sure you want to carry so much in a place where even a feathery weight matters.
Cultural tourism photography is what will make you leave a piece of your heart in Tanzania. You will be hooked to those graceful smiles even amidst drinking salty porridge in a dusty ground of a hot mud hut house. You will run out of storage to keep the video of the giggling kids who have nothing much but all the happiness in the world.
You fail to take clear photos given the strike of a child drinking milk straight from a cow’s nipple, maneuvering her way without the cow or the competitor calf being violent, at least until one deserved puff.
In Zanzibar! You will be obsessed to show case the unique architecture that has lasted years and years post colonialism, the doors will be a symbolic gesture of your having being to Dar. You will need to take a boat to an isolated prison island to give you an opportunity to take picture of Zanzibar beaches from a distance. The Mnembwa Island is one of the place you don’t want to miss, breathtaking beaches, water and five star facilities that you can show case. Photography in tourism is a cool excuse to have fun while working.
