Africa Photo Safari – Is it Really Such An Amazing thing?
The simple answer is that Because it is an unforgatable experience , because for the first time in your life you will feel what real nature is, how was it millions of years ago
We are wired that way, from the very beginning of all times we were facinatede by the wild animals, adicted to learn their behaves and learn their lifes.We are following the same principles by taking an Africa photo Safari.inside us all there is this need and desire to be there,to “feel” Africa the way it was,the way it all began, even if it is from the safety of a vehicle and the luxery of some 5 stars hotel, we have this basic need to experience Africa…
African Photo Tours are usually not cheap. And you’ll need to invest in the necessary equipment in order to get these breathtaking wildlife images . However, it is steal in my opinion this one thing you dont want to miss at least for time time in your life
Kenya or Tanzania?
Kenya for the great migration and the crossing
No where else worldwide there is such a massive activity of animals as quick as well as outstanding as the wildebeest movement where millions of animals migrate from south Tanzania to the greener meadows in Masai Mara Kenya. the movement has to cross the Mara stream where the huge crocodiles are waiting for the least possibility of a dish. This phenomenon is among 7 world’s wonders.
Wildebeest arrive at the Mara River in their tens of thousands, and gather waiting to cross. For days their numbers can be building up and anticipation grows but many times, for no apparent reason, they turn and wander away from the water’s edge. Eventually the wildebeest will choose a crossing point, something that can vary from year to year and cannot be predicted with any accuracy. Usually the chosen point will be a fairly placid stretch of water without too much predator-concealing vegetation in the far side, although occasionally they will choose seemingly suicidal places and drown in their hundreds. Perhaps, once again, this is because crossing places are genetically imprinted in the minds of the animals.
Some fords do attract larger numbers of animals than others though, probably because they’re visible from a greater distance and the arriving herds are able to see others of their kind either in the process of crossing the river or grazing on the lush grass on the far side.
Tanzania for the predators
If you are into predetors and want to get the ultimate experience of watching them from very close, Tanzania is where you want to be, and if you want me to be more specific,the south, the Ruaha national reserve. It is a wildlife photographer’s dream location. Ruaha is a “Southern Circuit” park located in the southern part of Tanzania and is usually accessed by bush flight from Dar es Salaam.
Unlike the more famous Serengeti National Park, Ruaha allows open safari vehicles and off-road game driving. This means that if game is spotted away from a road, we are allowed to leave the road to gain prime access for taking photographs. In addition to an abundance of wildlife of all kinds, Ruaha is known for its massive herds of Cape Buffalo which large prides of lion regularly hunt. It also has rare species like African Wild Dogs, sable antelope, and 530 recorded bird species.
it dosent realy matter if your choose Kenya or Tanzania, the experience is almost almost guarenteed, being so close to nature,witnessing the stunning breathtaking landscape and the nature as it used to be for millions of years is the perfect once in a lifetime experience
