Mountain gorilla photography holiday “Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” That sums up the last 10 days for me and in many ways there is nothing else to say. We had 3 Jo’s on this […]
Shoebill Mabamba swamp Entebbe I’m back in Entebbe for a few days and it would be rude not to visit the nearby Mabamba swamp in search of the Shoebill and an array of other birdlife … internet access is rather slow but here’s a handful of photos from earlier this morning. There’s more photos of […]
