Ngorongoro Magic

An Endangered Black Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater

One of my Top 10 favorite safari destinations in East Africa is without a doubt the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. It is a natural arena where the circle of life plays out daily within the confines of the crater rim and where all animals, live out most of their existence within the walls of this awe inspiring natural theater. There is a healthy and diverse range of wildlife that can be found both on the crater floor, as well in the vast conservation area outside the caldera.

This is one of my all time favorite photographs taken during our last safari there. The black rhino pictured is encrusted with ox-peckers on its back, its expression is priceless as it gazes into the horizon and finally, the textures, lines and colours of the landscape all tell an interesting story of their own. Everything just came beautifully together for this photo.

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.
