Tanzanian Adventure Presentation
I recently returned from 3 weeks in Tanzania, which was a truly amazing time that I would like to share. I went with six friends to a small ( 16 people) Safari Lodge that is owned by a Canadian couple who are also dedicated to improving the life of Tanzanians in the surrounding area. In the last few years they have constructed a 7 km pipeline to bring in running water to the local village. In addition, within their property they have constructed a Health Care Centre for the village staffed with a doctor and nurse who can now offer child immunizations, medical testing and maternity care. Work is continuing on expanding these facilities.
Because of their great contacts with the local people and the people who work for them, they are able to offer very unique and personal tours. These included a tour of the health care centre, a walk to the nearest village, a visit to the local school with 97 pupils to a class, a plantation on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro growing bananas, coffee and vanilla, a visit to a Maasai village and much more. So we started to get an understanding and appreciation of their lives and culture.
And of course, there was also the Safari. Again it was organized by the Lodge and one of the staff was our driver and guide. He was from the Maasai tribe and knew every animal and bird and how they lived. This part was indescribable. Travelling across the Serengeti plain, every day was a surprise, never knowing what we would see next. I expected to see animals but not the quantity and variety. We stayed in tented camps with no fencing. So no wandering around once it was dark. One morning we discovered a pride of 12 lions asleep only 100 metres from the tents.
If this has wetted your appetite, come and join me for a slide show and discussion.
A
bout the Artist / Presenter:
Living in Cochrane, so close to the mountains, I love to cross-country ski in winter, hike in the summer and enjoy taking photographs of my favourite western Canadian locations and wildlife, including birds. A few years ago I had a truly amazing and inspiring experience spending six days in Churchill, Manitoba, photographing Polar Bears and Red Foxes. Earlier this year, in mid February, I had the opportunity to spend three weeks in Tanzania, including nine days on Safari. It turned out to be the most amazing experience of my life. So the challenge is to capture and communicate the awe I feel when seeing these animals, or any wildlife, in the wild and close up
I also have a passion for history and the art, architecture, beautiful dramatic scenery and culture of Western Civilization which takes me frequently to Europe for travel and exploration. My objective is to make the viewer want to visit the same places and and undertake their own exploration. With all my travel photography I try to make the picture unique, by leaving a question in the viewer’s mind, for example - ‘What is at the end of the stairs?’
Wherever I am, I find having a camera in my hand gives me a greater appreciation and in-sight into what I am observing. I hope that through seeing my photographs, others may be inspired to appreciate, value and care for the amazing world around us. I find this greater awareness also compliments my other interest of teaching Yoga and Meditation. You can see more of my pictures at
