Never imagined macro photography could be such fun. I managed to secure some incredible images …The day just got better and I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has a love of tiny animals and an interest in macro. Perfect.
There are hides in different contexts providing different possibilities for compositions. The staff are very helpful and experienced. Going to this centre with Janette has been a great experience. She knows the centre well and has lots of experience of photographing the bears there so is able to offer very helpful advice and support. I have come away both times with many images of bears and with very pleasant memories of the visits with Janette.
These holidays are hard work with nights in the hides but also a lot of fun. Roll on 2017.
Lots of driving on unmade roads gave the opportunity to observe the ‘real’ Uganda. The sightings on the game drives in Queen Elizabeth park were superb – tracking the lion prides & being informed on the families, spotting a leopard camouflaged in a tree, watching the elephants walking down to the river, seeing hippos out of the water grazing during the day, being surrounded by warthogs & marabou storks whilst eating breakfast, observing the birds & wildlife from a boat & a bush dinner were just some of the highlights in this park.
Next stop was Bwindi forest, staying in a tent with an outdoor shower room! The short 45 minute trek to see the gorilla family certainly lived up to expectations – an hour standing about 10 feet away watching the family interact together, in between the females & youngsters with the silverback sleeping up on a ridge just above us. Also an opportunity to walk into the local village to understand how the local people live & their enthusiasm for protecting the gorillas & the tourism that enables them to support their families.
Final stop Lake Mburo with tented accommodation high on a ridge overlooking the park & the local villages – awesome views. Sightings of giraffe, zebra, numerous antelope species & a honey badger.
Whilst the trip was not for the faint hearted – lots of driving, lots of bumpy unmade roads, basic accommodation (although always clean & well presented) & basic food – the beer is good – the experience was brilliant. I would recommend travelling with Natural Wonders to really ‘get under the skin’ of Uganda.
