[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The only Mangrove swamp in Zanzibar is near Jambiani on the South-East Coast.

Mangroves are strange trees that have intricate root systems above the ground that actually hold the tree up. Because the swamp is in ‘brackish water’, a mixture of sea salt water and fresh, the Mangroves grow as an extension of a mother tree. The seeds cannot grow in the water, so it must use this unique process to reproduce.

Hi Deon,
To me it looks eerie and it feels like a crocodile or an alligator might be lurking in the swamps(but that's just me) but it still is a beautiful place and must be very interesting to see and photograph. Great capture! Have a great weekend.
Regards
Natley
