We flew from Amsterdam via Kigali (Rwanda) to Entebbe, Uganda. The next day follows a spectacular domestic flight with a Chesna to Kidepo Airport. On the way we fly over the Victoria Nile, which flows from here to the Jordan!
From Savannah Lodge we make a safari on foot with Ranger Simon and an afternoon jeep safari. The Kidepo Valley National Park is impressively beautiful and it is not touristy in northeastern Uganda.
The next day we travel over endless gravel roads in more than eight hours from Kidepo to Karamoja Safari Camp at the foot of Mount Moroto. During our cultural tour we get to know the local population and their traditional housing. Two brothers steal my heart: so cheerful, playful and pure. They have no mirror and never see themselves. My camera brings them into ecstasy. Touchingly beautiful…
Trekking Uganda’s Mount Kadam with Kenya-based Dutch primatologist Yvonne A. de Jong and American conservationist and ecologist Thomas M. Butynski have had an interest for what lies within the forgotten corners of Uganda’s Karamoja sub-region and bordering Kenya’s Turkana and West-Pokot counties.

I just returned from a weeklong 350-mile cycling tour in the truly remote reaches of Northeast Uganda and Northwest Kenya known as the Tour of Karamoja; and while I feel a little tired from the physical effort, boy do I feel inspired, mentally refreshed, recharged and rejuvenated!
