The Pearl of Africa

Photo Tour Uganda

It has its reason that Sir Winston Churchill called Uganda the pearl of Africa in his 1908 book “My African Journey”. Uganda is something very special: Here the landscape, the climate, the vegetation and also the people are different from other African countries and the diversity of the country is great. On this exclusive photo tour in a small travel group of maximum 4 participants, we will show you the untouched nature of Uganda, its great animal diversity, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world, the dense rainforest, the warmth and joie de vivre of the people, and mighty waterfalls. Uganda is a relatively small country, but definitely a big highlight that will guarantee you beautiful photos.

Uganda is famous for unique wildlife experiences in its diverse landscape. Meeting the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is a poignant and unique experience that you will never forget. With a bit of luck, you will be able to take great photos of these mountain gorillas on this tour. You will also encounter chimpanzees, photograph the unique shoebill and of course capture many other African animals with your camera.

The landlocked country lies in the east of Africa between Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan. Much of the country is located on the East African Plateau at an average altitude of 1’100 m and Uganda is therefore home to one of the highest mountain ranges in Africa. In Uganda, the Nile rises in Lake Victoria and makes its way through the Rift Valley. Spectacular and varied landscape photos are therefore equally guaranteed on this exclusive photo tour to Uganda.

Join us with your camera in an exclusive small group and benefit from the individual and personal attention of professional photographer James Gifford.
