We went to Ranthambhore with Janette and the trip exceeded all expectations. From the beginning Janette and her team made every effort to ensure we had the best experience possible. The transfers to and from Ranthambhore were smooth and comfortable and the hotel was excellent – homely and friendly. As for the game drives, just 10 minutes into our first drive we had our first encounter with a tiger. Ranthambhore is a spectacular national park and we were pleasantly surprised by its wide variety of habitats and landscapes. As well as tigers we saw leopards, sloth bear, honey badgers, golden jackal, mongoose and a huge variety of birdlife including golden oriel, all 4 of the resident owl species and even a bathing buzzard. On the bucket list was a sighting of a tiger against one of Ranthambhore's famous ruins and a tiger in water. Both ticked!
In summary, a wonderful experience and one which we are looking forward to repeating.
Listening to his experiences living in Uganda and learning so much about life for the Ugandan people was fascinating, not to mention the humour and banter around the dinner table.
This was a full on tour of Uganda with some longer journeys on bumpy, dusty roads crossing the Equator twice but It was all worthwhile as we saw a wide variety of landscapes from hot dry plains to the high altitude rain forests. The birds and animals were plentiful. Amazing to observe and to photograph.
Our walking safaris in the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary are unforgettable. It was great to be so close to so many White Rhinos always under the guidance of the rangers. During an evening walking safari we came upon a large male Rhino, frogs and spiders to name but a few.
In complete contrast were the boat trips down the Nile and the Khanzinga Channel. Cruising close to the banks gave us a wealth of opportunities to observe the wildlife and photograph them in their natural environment. Our safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park were thrilling too notably when we were close to a Hyena kill.
After a short trek in Kibale we were thrilled to spend an hour with a very noisy group of Chimpanzees. They really do charge around the forest shrieking and calling to each other, bashing undergrowth and trees as they go. The Gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was another story! Although the trek was difficult going for my arthritic knees and foot I was helped along the way by the porters. The reward was to spend an hour with these wonderful primates at very close quarters. So gentle and calm other than the naughty young male who keep whacking us or tugging our clothes as he passed by. It was a great privilege to spend time with the Silverback and his family.
Thank you Janette and Peter for sharing your passion for wildlife. Uganda was a unique and unforgettable experience. Can’t wait for the next adventure with Natural Wonders Photography.
My technical know-how has improved and my confidence in trusting my instincts is renewed. I’m also definitely a couple of pounds heavier after those amazing meals Morag produced!
Many thanks – and hope to encounter you all again sometime.
