Guests of the 2010 East Africa Photo Safari and Uganda Mountain Gorilla extension, returned home safe and sound, packed with several once-in-a-lifetime experiences in their hearts, and thousands of images on their hard-drives. Luck was on our side in Bwindi Impenetrable forest, as the gentle giants that appear from the mists were less than a 30 minute hike each day from our starting point, and continued to sit and forage in front of us, as though that had been waiting for us to join them for tea. As one guest stated…

“...both Birgit and myself got ‘blessed’ by two Gorillas wanting to be in touch with us ….. what an experience!!!“

In East Africa, over 70 bird and 26 mammal species crossed the focal points of our lenses, while 31 lions and 5 cheetahs kept us on our toes during the early morning drives, together with Leopards and other exciting species. Still, the most exciting moment of the safari was our encounter with hundreds of thousands of migrating wildebeest and zebra – before we could even see them, the rumbling of their groaning could be heard traveling across the plains. We could feel the trembling of the ground quaking from their massive movements, and their smells rising up from the earth greeted us as we approached ever closer! Little dots in the distance we first assumed to be bushes soon transformed to be more animals than we could imagine, until finally, even the most avid photographer put his lens cap on, and just sat back to take in this incredible spectacle!

“I am writing to convey to you our thanks and appreciation for a wonderful experience on this safari. The group dynamics were great and we all very much enjoyed each others’ company. Ferenc was an absolutely terrific tour leader. His warm and jovial personality kept us in good humor throughout the safari. He did a marvelous job in coordinating our schedule and accommodations and making sure all of our needs were satisfied. Truly an outstanding job.”

Jordan is a beautiful, welcoming country full of wondrous cultural spectacles and astounding ancient architecture. In late October 2010, we will guide you through this amazing country. Not only will we visit well-known places like Petra and the Dead Sea, but we will also venture out into the desert to spend an unforgettable night with traditional Bedouin peoples who will invite us to gather around their fire and share a glass of “Bedouin Whiskey” – syrupy sweet, hot, sage tea, followed by a traditional dinner. The people of Jordan are some of the most welcoming in the world, and the beautiful sights makes this an unparalleled cultural journey.
