Photography Tips

Lake Bunyonyi at dawn is one of Uganda's most photogenic scenes — shoot from the water in a canoe using 16–35 mm for terraced hillside reflections. For Mgahinga's Virunga volcano panorama use 24–70 mm at f/8 on a clear morning. Golden monkeys' vivid coats work best in soft bamboo-filtered light — avoid harsh midday shooting.
