Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania

My daughter is working in Kampala and has August off, so I am going to visit
her for the last three weeks. My main interests are photography (wildlife
and landscapes). I want to spend a day looking for gorillas, but other than
that do not have any specific plans.

I know this is very similar to another thread that is circulating and I have
read that, but am looking for suggestions when you have to start and end in
Kampala and want to include a little time in the southwest of Uganda or
Rwanda for gorillas.

All my other trips have been to southern Africa and I would like to see
something a little different from Kruger, Hwange and Kgalagadi.

Thanks for any suggestions.

We did a weeklong trip with Volcanoes last year. Had our own driver for a
week and started in Kampala. Went to Queen Elizabeth N.P. and to Bwindi
(south west) and returned to Kampala. Bwindi to see the gorillas. Volcanoes
operation in Bwindi is a great little place. I only wished we had planned a
day or two more there. But you need a special interest for (rain)forests to
want extra time. The scenery in south west is beautiful: Small farms (little
plots really) with hilly to mountanous terrain. Queen Elizabeth N.P. is
nothing like the Serengeti but quite nice. Don't set your expectations too
high. What is great though, is that you will have a chance to see chimps
nearby.

I believe the Volcanoes operation is owned by a Brit. They have a gorilla
operation in Rwanda also.

Hope that helps.

Hi Scott,

We focus more on the southern end of Africa, but take a look at our
website anyway (if only for the wildlife photography). There is an
email link on the site if you'd like more information on any of the
areas.

From a saftely point of view, I would caution that you research your
exact location in Uganda or Rwanda; and try to get some local feedback
from those areas.

Thanks Grant. You are correct, the photos on your site are great.

My daughter is teaching in Kampala and her employer has more or less written
into her contract that she cannot travel to the north of Uganda and it is a
little vague if she can or cannot go into Rwanda. Some of her friends went
to Rwanda anyway and had no problems. They seem much more comfortable with
her going to Kenya or Tanzania.
