Fishing On Lake Massingir by Martin Meyer

An early morning start to the day on Lake Massingir in northwest Mozambique. These fisherman will be out on the water the entire day checking their nets and fish-traps. It’s a way of life, so natural so exhausting and yet so fulfilling. Shot on Safari at Lake Massingir, Greater Limpopo Transfronteir Park, Mozambique.
