New Photos: Tanzania 2019 Wildlife & Scenery

More commonly knows as the black-and-white colobus, the mantled guereza is a large hairy monkey that’s quite active in Arusha National Park.

For a large monkey, the guereza is quite agile and bounds effortlessly through the trees.

An interesting behavioral shot, as this male dik dik is busy spreading its poo across a midden as a territorial marker.

One of the top animals I hoped to see again during this visit was the bat-eared fox. We had good luck with them, even spotting them from our hot air balloon!

We had a couple of nice shoots with hippos in the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.

We did not see a lot of leopards on this trip, but our late afternoon shoot with this female is one of the better encounters I’ve ever had.

The towering kopjes provided a very photogenic setting.

This tiny dwarf mongoose is my favorite mongoose species.

We were fortunate to catch this surprise cheetah hunt. Though it was unexpected and from a distance, it was fun to witness.

The “Migration” didn’t really make an impact until we saw all of the massive herds of zebras gathering at watering holes.

We were very fortunate to witness a wildebeest birth in Ndutu.

We timed the process.

From birth it took four minutes for the calf to stand, seven minutes to walk and fourteen minutes to nurse.

This is the only live birth I’ve witnessed, aside from my son’s.

Sunset over the Serengeti. Classic.

This zebra was providing a taxi service for Wattled starlings.

What I believe is a Nairobi grass rat gathers food above the ground. A Superb starling has the same idea.

One of the highlights of the trip occurred when a pride of lions faced off against an interloper.

This is where the encounter left off… a standoff near the shore.

We had an amazing sunrise in Ndutu, complete with wildebeest and zebras.

The combination of good light, low fog and wildlife was hard to beat.

We saw a number of lions in Ndutu, and had a nice session with this mother and her five cubs one morning.

We even saw a few lions in the trees.

There were some nice opportunities to photograph zebras at the water.

Zebras are a great subject for monochrome photography.

We saw most of Tanzania’s felines on this trip. It took a few encounters with the African wildcat before we got even a brief photo opportunity.

We had some nice encounters with vervet monkeys in Lake Manyara National Park.
