Celebrating Nature in Uganda: A Photographic Journey
About this ebook
Often overshadowed by its neighbors, Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda offers a more intimate safari experience—free from massive crowds and rushing vehicles. With its varied habitats and nearly 1,000 bird species, it remains a gem for wildlife and birding enthusiasts.
This book takes readers on a journey through Uganda’s wilderness—from close encounters with hippos in Lake Mburo and vast herds of buffalo in remote Kidepo Valley to intimate moments with gorilla families in Bwindi and chimpanzees in Kibale. Walking among giraffes in Lake Mburo and tracking rhinos in Ziwa, Sunil and Vani experience nature in its purest form.
Sunil’s evocative images bring these moments to life, reflecting patience, perseverance, and a deep passion for storytelling. Through stunning imagery and compelling narratives, this book inspires nature lovers and travelers alike to appreciate and protect the extraordinary planet we are so lucky to inherit.
