看了前面几集非洲的风景和飞禽走兽,大家一定印象深刻,这集谈谈攻略。这个攻略是我为我们摄影俱乐部的摄影师们准备的,供大家参考。

这次组织的非洲摄影团一共12人(摄影师加家属),包了两辆车。我们直接联系了肯尼亚当地的一家旅行社,少花钱多办事,避免了中间商美其名曰的加费提成。喜欢玩摄影的人一般都不缺钱,本团的摄影师们都是事业有成之士,因此大家觉得有必要住得舒服一些,玩得尽兴一些。根据本团摄友们的需要,集思广益,制定了适合我们的具体行程计划。于是我同旅行社商量将我们的行程安排做些升级。其一,加了热气球项目。其二,增加Amboseli旅游点。其三,因为环保的原因,野生动物保护区内大多为帐篷旅馆,多处在荒郊野外,和大自然融为一体。起步价的帐篷旅馆比较简陋,我们提出了住帐篷升级版(特别是坦桑尼亚境内),房间内包含单独洗脸间和厕所,舒适方便。每个帐篷旅馆的房间都有太阳能供热(偶尔发生没有热水的情况,但手机和相机电池充电没有问题,用水没有问题。)。我们有3晚是五星级旅馆。升级后,14天算下来每人开销为$3370(不含机票),比起步价多交了一千多美金(下面的照片证明了我们的选择是对的,物有所值)。去之前先交一半钱给旅行社作为订金,到了后再交另一半,由旅行社开发票留存根。

整个行程虽然算不上十全十美,但这家公司诚实可靠,比较灵活,办事好商量,安排周到,价钱合理,值得推荐。开始时担心的非洲人办事懒散,不讲诚信并没有发生在我们身上。中间出了一个意外,最后也能圆满解决,还多住了一晚的五星级酒店。我们摄影团不以盈利为目的,大家摄影兴趣相投,目标一致,玩得尽兴,每个人都满载而归。一趟玩下来,全程居然没有一个人生病。必须说,全部旅馆的食物都非常可口,而且卫生。我每家旅馆都吃色拉和水果,一点没事。因为满意服务,我们的小费给得慷慨。为了避免广告推销嫌疑,需要这家非洲公司联系方式的人可和我联系,QQH。

我拍摄的《走进非洲》作品相关连接见下,可以饱眼福:

花絮 – 旅途中,有时会遇见许多有意思的人和事,点滴成涓,让你从中感受到这个世界的美好和亲和力。这也是我喜欢旅游的最主要原因之一。有些事情虽小,可能一辈子都不会忘记。- 严教授语

58. 不得不说说这位女孩。在东非大裂谷观景台,我们正在合影,她走过来用非常标准的普通话和我们打招呼,并主动帮我们照集体合影。同她聊天,她在这里向中国人传教。临走时才发现,她和另一位男士是地地道道的日本人!我们团中的一位摄影师在日本留过学,同她用日语交谈。我们问她在中国哪所学校学的中文,她说她没有去过中国,她的中文是在肯尼亚学的!真希望能多有点时间同她聊聊。各位如果再遇见她,请代我向她和她的同伴问好。

Kenya - Tanzania (Lodge 2)

59. 野生动物保护区内的路况很不好,颠簸如摇篮,对车子的损害很大。这辆车从后面赶上来,刚超过我们就翻倒在地,前轮的轴承断了,左前轮脱离。不一会从车里面爬出了几个女孩。我们的司机见状马上停下车,上前帮忙。摄影的功能和责任之一就是纪实,我拿起相机跟了下去,从头到尾将全部过程用相机记录下来。这是其中的一张照片,一车有难,八方支援。其实前前后后还有许多曲折故事,包括头天晚上迷路时对司机的误解。知道我喜欢写作,本团摄影师们鼓励我写出来。One picture is worth a thousand words,其它的都不说了。第二天半道上又碰见了那几位女孩,结果她们换了一辆车重新上了旅途,欢声笑语一脸阳光和我们车擦身而过。

Kenya - Tanzania (Lodge 2)

60. 最后一天参观内罗毕,根据我们的要求,公司派了一个人领着我们上到国际会议中心的最高建筑物顶层,俯视市内全景。

Kenya - Tanzania (Lodge 2)

64. 这是邻桌非洲哥们点的食物,叫不上名称。
