What to Expect on a Photography Tour in Uganda

You’ll experience carefully planned daily photography excursions from early morning to late afternoon, designed to catch animals in the best natural light. Our itinerary balances active wildlife spotting and photography with comfortable downtime, including pool or beach breaks at select lodges.

Our small-group tours ensure personalized attention and flexibility. We travel by minibus with skilled drivers and a personal guide who offers cultural insights and photographic tips. Informal image critique sessions help you improve your craft throughout the trip.

Ideal Equipment & Preparation

For wildlife photography, we recommend DSLR or mirrorless cameras with telephoto lenses (200-600mm or more) to capture distant subjects. Quality zoom lenses (100-400mm) or high-zoom bridge cameras also work well. Macro lenses are great for capturing insects, frogs, and flowers.
