Farhat Jah is a photographer based in Pemba Tanzania.

When we say based, we mean just that. Farhat's parents

come from Turkey (75%) and India (25%). Consequently

he finds himself in Turkey many times a year,

wandering through the mountains of the East and

Centre. 

For eight months of the year he can be found working

in East Africa. He and his wife (to be), Cisca,

operate specialist bush walking safaris, and a dive

resort on the Island of Pemba. 

Farhat and Cisca spend the other four months of the

year on "safari". Sefer, comes from the Turkish word,

Journey, a "seferi " is a traveller. That is what they

are. Travellers who wanders Africa in a battered

Landrover, across sections of desert with camels or

through the Himalayas in a pair of badly fitting

boots. (Farhat is almost completely flat footed). 

Farhat writes articles and shoots photo essays for

various motoring and geo-travel magazines. He and

Cisca, (a proficient anthropologist) also run three

specialised "PHOTO SAFARIS" a year in Tanzania. For

more information see "photographic holidays and

tuition".

He also loves to write letters, so if you have a query

about anything Turkish, African, photographic or about

Landrovers, drop him a line to : swahilidivers@yahoo.co.uk
