Three landscapes. One expedition into the wild.

This expedition moves through three of Uganda’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations — each one different in character, in light, and in what it asks of the photographer. At Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, you track white rhinos on foot — one of the only places in Uganda where this is possible. The Nile at Murchison Falls draws elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and birds in extraordinary concentrations. And Kidepo Valley National Park, near the South Sudan border, is the kind of place that stays with you — open, dramatic, and almost entirely free of other vehicles. Uganda is unspoilt. This expedition goes to the parts that most travellers never reach.

The light in Uganda shifts constantly — from the soft gold of early morning to the hard midday sun and back again. Between game drives, there is time to review your images together: what worked, what didn’t, and why. Shoebills, African fish eagles, marabou storks, and crowned cranes appear when you least expect them. Every quiet moment is an opportunity. Questions about settings, composition, and timing are welcome at any point — this is not a lecture, it is a conversation that runs the length of the expedition.

The Solara Conservation Foundation (in formation) is an independent initiative dedicated to wildlife protection and community-based conservation in the regions where we travel.
