Uganda, Rwanda & Burundi
August 14 to 26, 2022
Travel to some of the least explored parts of East Africa on this two week journey visiting three beautiful countries: Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Starting with Uganda, a country located on the East African Plateau, you will experience beautiful waterfalls, Lake Victoria, the world's largest lake, and the world's longest river, the Nile. You'll also have the chance to see all kinds of wildlife, including the majestic and endangered mountain gorilla. Then cross into Rwanda to discover the beautiful Lake Kivu, one of the African Great Lakes. One of the highlights of your visit will be the chance to see the splendid Golden Monkey, one of the rarest primates in the world. Also experience the Rwandan culture at a traditional village. Continue your journey to Burundi, which has two national parks - Kibira to the northwest, and Ruvubu to the northeast. Both were established in 1982 to conserve wildlife populations. Burundi's culture is based on local tradition and the influence of neighboring countries. On this trip, our aim is to raise your awareness and spark your creativity so that you not only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new-found skills to improve and expand your photographic technique in general. Apart from the technical aspect of learning your camera settings and capabilities, you will also learn how to turn and extraordinary one by using your own creativity. All are welcome to join this trip whether you're a photographer or not!
