The Maasai or Kilimanjaro Giraffe has jagged spots, quite unlike all other giraffes. This giraffe popped up from nowhere and seemed more interested in us than we were of him/her. They are only found in Kenya and Tanzania.

This is one of my favourite people shots from my travels across Africa. Taken around the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. I spent a few days exploring the backwaters of the region following my ascent of the mountain.

The name “colobus” is derived from the Greek word for “mutilated,” because unlike other monkeys, colobus monkeys do not have thumbs. Their beautiful black fur strongly contrasts with the long white mantle, whiskers and beard around the face and the bushy white tail. Habitat The colobus lives in all types of closed forests, including montane and gallery forests. Bamboo stands are also popular dwelling spots for the colobus. The colobus is the most arboreal of all African monkeys and rarely descends to the ground. It uses branches as trampolines, jumping up and down on them to get liftoff for leaps of up to 50 feet. They leap up and then drop downward, falling with outstretched arms and legs to grab the next branch. Their mantle hair and tails are believed to act as a parachute during these long leaps. Camera – Nikon D80; Lens – Tamron 28-300 VC zoom Greeting Card / Colobus monkeys live in troops of about 5 to 10 animals—a dominant male, several females, and young. Each troop has its own territory which is well defined and defended from other troops. Adult troop members, especially males, make croaking roars that can be heard resonating throughout the forest.

This Arusha National Park ranger was not exactly my image of what an armed guide would look like but what the heck! With no large predators in the park, the ancient single shot rifle was only carried in case a cranky buffalo decided he didn’t like tourists in his territory and even then a single shot in the air would have scared him off if he decided to charge. The warthog in the background is no danger – warthogs are timid creatures. In the background is Mt Meru (4566 metres), the second highest mountain in Tanzania (Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest).

Taken in Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania The Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (Bycanistes brevis) is a large bird, with length from 75 to 80 cm, characterized by a very large creamy casque on the beak, smaller in females. The head is silver-grey and the rest of the plumage is black, except for a broad white stripe on the lower back. Silvery-cheeked Hornbills are uncommon localized residents of the tall evergreen forests of East Africa from Ethiopia to South Africa. Usually they live in pairs and sometimes roost in flocks of hundreds of individuals. This hornbill feeds on fruits, insects, other birds’ eggs and centipedes. They breed in spring (September and October) and lay clutches of 1 to 3 white eggs, incubated for 40 days. The young remain with both parents for circa 80 days.

BEST VIEWED LARGE To Westerners seeing this type of village for the first time, it seems sort of surreal, a re-created relic of times gone by, something you might see in Disneyland. Yet this viilage in Northern Tanzania is real. This is the way the nomadic Maasai tribes have lived for thousands of years, building these primitive (to us) compounds and staying tin the one place for a few years until the surrounding countryside can no longer sustain their herds of cattle, sheep and goats and then moving on to another spot, to re-construct their village and start again.
