The Walls Of Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania


A Black Rhino with the spectacular Ngorongoro crater wall as the backdrop

There is something magical about being in the Ngorongoro Crater. The spectacular scenery, variety of bird life, abundant wildlife diversity and of course the feeling of being inside one of the greatest natural wonders of the world will leave every visitor in awe.

Yes ... 'Wild Kenya Safaris' does organize safaris to Tanzania upon request and our last trip there definitely did not disappoint. 

While composing this photograph of the black rhino spotted during our game drive, a number of things came to mind. I wanted to highlight this beautiful endangered animal, emphasize on the multitude of colours and most importantly showcase the sheer size of the crater wall. 

After some patience, everything finally did come together to make this lovely photograph, the rhino stood still for a moment, a pair of crowned cranes joined the scene, the crater wall and landscape became well lit and both the rhino and elephant out in the distance gave a real life scale of the magnificent wall surrounding the park.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
