Safari Photo Essay

Images of Kenya and Tanzania

The wonders of East Africa have the power to stir your senses and to excite your curiosity. The sights, the sounds, the sweeping panoramic landscape shock with their emotional impact. Even the jaded traveler will find much that jogs the imagination: the gorge where the Leakeys made their discoveries; the Ngorongoro Crater, whose caldera shelters one of the world¹s most beautiful wildlife havens; the vast Serengeti, populated by the primitive colorful Masai Mara tribe and by hundreds of thousands of herds living on and migrating across the dusty plain.

The experience of Dark Africa, envisioned in traditional tented accommodations and game parks where animals roam unfettered and birds flap their wings overhead or hide in trees, is overwhelmingly physical and richly visual.

No pictorial essay of that part of the continent would be fully descriptive without a few photographs of the dramatically designed lodges and camps. For those who require luxury on a trip, it exists in Kenya and Tanzania. Tents have electricity and running water; hotels provide a high level of comfort and creative architecture consistent with the environment.

The thrilling wildlife trophies that travelers on safari now bring home are shot with a camera rather than a gun.
