Tete, Mozambique

"It's always hot in Tete". These were the words uttered to me back in March by a driver up north who was dropping me at Pemba airport. He was right! It was hot there in March when I did a wet season survey. It was even hotter last week with temperatures soaring above 35 degrees celsius by 7 am and reaching over 40 degrees by mid day. The region is sparsely populated (probably due to the heat) and is still teeming with wildlife (by Mozambique standards - most animals have been hunted and eaten). I desperately wanted to see wild elephant but only saw evidence of these silent creatures in the footprints and droppings they left behind.

This blog is slowly becoming a photo journal of my travels around Africa. On my way home I saw some gorgeous black and white photos taken in Mozambique and couldn't wait to get home and experiment with some photos from my trip. Below are the experimental results.
