Following a 2022 visit to Uganda, I vowed to return with Yosi to see more of this lush, beautiful country. In 2024 we set out on our adventure, a three week photo safari. We covered much of the country but look forward to returning again. Uganda is welcoming and not as well known to tourists. We had a nice balance of solitude and the companionship of fellow travelers who were also looking for new experiences.
