Natural Wonders Photography provides the opportunity for everyone from complete beginners to professionals to experience the wonders of the natural world in many different locations in the UK and overseas. All locations are chosen to enable you, the client, to obtain great images from the best possible position and settings. Our aim is always for you to have a great experience in a relaxed and friendly way.
This was my first overseas photographic trip and what a way to begin. I saw and photographed a wide diversity of fauna and was treated to many tiger sightings, but also leopard and sloth bear.
There are not enough superlatives to describe our guide Ashlesh and driver Sajid, without whom there would not have been so many successes.
The Hotel was a welcome place to return to each day, nothing was an inconvenience and the staff catered to all your needs. The pool was ideal to cool off in and WiFi kept you in touch with home.
And lastly there is Janette, with her great knowledge and experience she answered my many questions and ensured it was a trip of a lifetime. We laughed until we cried! A fantastic trip beyond my expectations. Thank you.
We came back with 7,500 images which we are currently sorting and editing them and they will be a permanent reminder of probably our best holiday ever. We are already booking two more trips with Natural Wonders Photography.
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.
