Über diesen Tip
Walk the lakefront promenade to photograph small wooden fishing boats moving between the big ferries, with anglers fishing from the shore. Go early morning or late afternoon for softer light, and finish with a sundowner at a waterfront restaurant. Ask before you photograph people, and keep the lens off police or military personnel, which is illegal in Tanzania.
