A visit back to the dinosaur age - and a virtually near extinct species... Black rhino - and calf.

We had a great look at there 2 for about 10 minutes, before they wandered out of sight., truly spectacular animals. soft light helped, but there were at a fair distance.

Taken in the Ngorongoro crater!

With an elevated view to this elephant, and shooting at iso 64, such lush greens, and a superb animal, we sure had fun on this day in Tarangire NP.

Next tour - August!

Black Rhino Family.

one of the success stories in Tanzania. When I was there in 2011, my partner Nas told me they could account for 23 animals in the Ngorongoro Crater. Several towers surround the crater with 24 hour armed guards, radios, dispatch, and anti-poaching teams.

Now, my friends in TZ tell me there are over 50 Black rhinos in the Crater... a world renown natural site.

Worth the reading here -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngorongoro_Conservation_Area

We have had incredible sightings of these majestic rhinos over the year., I have never been to TZ without a view. Lucky? More then that... a species almost extinct., and a view back to the age of the dinosaur.

True nature, no fences, no baiting, superb respect for the land and the wildlife happens here in the North Swing locations on my itinerary.

All real.

thanks for looking.

Love Africa!

Our tour to the Ngorongoro Crater was a success

Besides the Black rhino shoot, we had several opportunities to watch and photograph some very cool scenes.

An entire Spotted Hyena Clan came to visit us as we were parked along side a small creek running through the bottom of the crater. Because of the bank on our side, we didn't get a good view of them drinking, but for me, this was a pretty nice view.

If I remember right, there were at least 8 animals, maybe more, I plan to review my files later, and maybe pick out one more shot to edit - some day.

thanks for looking, have a good day.

So difficult to explain, - right place, right time is all I can say. Special thanks to my ground tour company, getting us here was all due to their communications with so many friend in the field, and in the office. After 6 tour, we have developed close friendships, these guys are all my brothers, they help make our experience brilliant.

Superb food, services, driving, accommodations, the friendliest people that you can imagine. These tours just keep getting better!

A massive adult male Lion at Rest!

Their job is to sit, rest, protect the pride, procreate, and sleep!

The storied life of a big cat.

We travel to Tanzania to view and photography wild animals and birds, along with beautiful landscapes. We search for the best angle, light, pose, and hopefully some action. This latest tour gave us everything.

Here, this huge male was resting, and waiting for the pride to make the next kill, usually happening in the dark hours of the night. In our camp, at 3-4 am, we can hear the roars, and the fights with elephants and hyenas as they all fight for survival.

The morning light at sunrise is filled with excitement, as we trek out to the bush to see what happened. Early am us full of activity. This shot however was taken during the late afternoon, sun going down, and a rest time for the lions as they prepare for the evening hunt.

The look of content is what made this scene interesting for me.

A battle of strength!

Two male wildebeests demonstrate their strength to encourage females to notice qualities of dominance and superiority. They have short battles, and usually without bloodshed. For us photographers, the action is superb!

A washed out effect with this shot as the dust was up, the wind gusting, and the savanna so very dry. Not great for the cameras, but this weather and environment did make for some effective moods through the last few days of the tour.

Later in the month, the zebras get feisty, and do battle. We missed that experience for this trip, maybe the next one!

This is an eight image story with a cheetah family hunting for a kill! 2 of 8

The Cheetah had the young wildebeests by the throat and was strangling and very quickly decided to drag it into a safer location near some thicker bush. The first dozen shots were so directed into the sun it was more or less a waste of time. Fortunately, when the Cub dragged the kill to our right, the sun angle was not so effective and we had a great, point blank view of the kill.

Well that is Just About Enough!

Superb lions engaging in population growth.

Hopefully for the survival of the species, and not the survival of the moron hunters and their sick hobby.

Love Africa.

Ok, if we wait long enough, all those photographers might
share some coffee!

Early am up and go in Tanzania, on our way to the airport we had one last visit with the young male and his partners.
We had about 3 hours of shooting time before we got on the plane in the Serengeti!

Three superb and beautiful females - one of them should be having cubs soon!
