#17 Water Search: Tanzania Africa

During the dry months in Africa, compatible wildlife band together in search of water. Tanzania experiences periods of drought, leading to water scarcity for wildlife. In response, animals have adapted by digging waterholes to access water sources. Tanzania’s major wildlife regions, including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Ruaha National Park, are known for their diverse wildlife populations, many of whom rely on water sources within these areas.

“This image would not have been possible without the assistance of our highly skilled guide, Themistocles Bamwenda. He shared his world of knowledge of animal facts, animal behavior and information on how animals interact with the environment, with each other and the Tanzanian culture. Themi was also very mindful of protecting us from the danger that one can encounter when near animals freely roaming in the wilderness.

Approximately 90 percent of the Tanzanians strongly believe in the protection and preservation of their nations’ wildlife, and many participate in advocacy projects, working to protect animal life and preserve their famous national parks; in addition, the Tanzanians carefully measure and plan for others to have the experience of a safari and a lot is involved behind the scenes. Tanzanians engage in a tireless devotion and selfless, around-the-clock labor of love for the preservation of the environment so that tourists can have the experience and bear witness.

My encounter with the Tanzanian people and their culture and with the country’s beautiful animals was a magical experience. It was an honor, and I will forever be grateful for the memories.”
