About 3 months ago I shot this footage of a lone Humpback Whale off the coast of Southern Tanzania, near the historic island of Kilwa Kivinje. That was our first ever whale-sighting! Since then we have seen 5 or 6 more, just off the coast near our house here in Mtwara. From late July/early August until around the end of September is whale season every year in this area as they pass by on migration, so we look forward to more whale sightings in the years to come.
The footage is really terrible since the water was a little rough and we never knew where the whale would come up next (plus we have to upload a low-resolution file due to internet speed and cost here), but here it is nonetheless. The final shot is the best, so hold out for that one.
