FAQ

Uganda has an equatorial climate, but thanks to its altitude the climate is generally mild:
Average daytime temperature: between 20–28°C
Cool nights, especially in mountainous areas such as Bwindi and Kibale, with temperatures around 10–15°C
Recommended dry period: from December to February and from June to September
When trekking in the forest, humidity can be high, but manageable with the proper gear.
For Italian citizens the following are required:
Passport with at least 6 months of residual validity
Electronic visa (eVisa) to be requested before departure through the official Ugandan government website

Uganda is a paradise for primate and rare birdlife photography. Recommended equipment:
300–600mm Telephoto Lens for Birds, Chimpanzees, and Shoebills

Wide-angle lens for landscapes and immersive scenes
Camera with good high ISO performance for low-light shooting in the forest

Binoculars for remote observation
When trekking, it's advisable to travel light but well-equipped: gorillas can come within a few meters!
Given the variety of environments (swamps, tropical forests, savannah), we recommend:
Breathable, layered technical clothing, in neutral colors (no black/white)
Long-sleeved shirts and long trousers for protection against insects and vegetation
Lightweight raincoat or rain poncho
Waterproof hiking boots with good grip
Lightweight trekking gloves (useful when walking through brambles or dense vegetation)
Hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, reusable water bottle
Practical and appropriate clothing makes photography tours in Uganda safe, comfortable, and extraordinarily exciting.
