RE: Nature Photography: exploring the Jozani National Park in Zanzibar

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

This national park is amazing, love the pure nature, love that raw green color, love the photos you took, a perfect combination for an amazing post.
P.S.I think in some places if I were you I would be afraid of snakes, hehe.

Thanks man, I´m glad you enjoyed this little tour :) Well, the guide told us there was nothing to be afraid in the park but I just googled it out and apparently, there are venomous snakes on Zanzibar too :D

Just the thought that in one place I might encounter venomous snakes makes me think twice about whether or not to go there, I am very afraid of them.

Yeah, I hear you. You have to careful in the jungle. I remember almost stepping on a coral snake in Costa Rica. Or almost touching the bullet ants when navigating around the trees. The jungle is a fascinating but dangerous place ;)

You are right, if we want to enjoy nature then we have to respect it, I was one day last summer here in the hills of western Romania and I came across a snake, I leave you a picture.

Wow, that´s a beautiful specimen, thanks for sharing! But nothing for those with ophidiophobia :D

Yes of course, on our walk up the hill I thought the snakes had gone into the ground because the cold had come, but unfortunately my wife almost stepped on it.
I showed several pictures of him to some reptile specialists and guess what, they told me that such specimens should not be found here in our area.
This specimen was huge I think it was over 3 meters long and quite thick.

Over 3 meters? Wow! I think such big snakes don´t live anywhere in Europe! It must have been some exotic pet snake that escaped and got in the wild... Glad that you and your wife didn´t get injured.
