   It was around 10pm in nearly pitch black darkness when my plane touched down on what seemed a very dimmly lit runway in  Entebbe, Uganda.  As I walked off the plane onto the tarmac I was greeted by a starry night sky, a slightly chilly, but refreashing breeze, and an unfamili…

I was born and raised in a typical Ugandan/ African family of more than 10 siblings. It was always fun and sometimes trying. What I remember as a child was always the noise and laughter as we teased each other or retold silly stories. My brothers Dickson and Jimmy had a knack for beginning a story …

The journey there It was a bit of a shock when I was informed that Lau was doing Kwanjula on Saturday. Kwanjula it turns out is the ceremony that is performed when the man goes the woman's home to ask for her hand in marriage – basically an engagement ceremony. I never got any m…

Of course it was successful but i had to go through a lot to get the best out of my gorilla safari to Uganda. It all started from the book i read about these apes. The book titled, "Gorillas in the Mist" gave me an inspiration and i definitely considered Africa for my next destination to track the …

Uganda was amazing. I experienced tragic sights but beautiful ones at that. Sometimes this place overwhelmed me with the need. I left something there and took something back. I left my camera at home which is a tragedy in itself. I acquired a really cheap one with no flash in the airport. Even still my pictures aren't the quality I would have had with my own camera, but I'm happy that I was able to get some shots to remember details I might have forgotten otherwise.

My trip to Uganda, februari 2008. I was elected as representative of my school during a 9-day trip to Uganda. There we visited several educational programs that are supported by the Dutch organisation Edukans. After the trip all the participating schools started collecting money for Edukans, and ofcourse for the projects we have visited. Check http://www.edukans.nl/english/

Well last night was interesting.  I went to bed, and about 2 hours into the night I heard a terrible howling and snarling noise outside my tent.  I was terrified, however when I peeked out the screen I saw wild dogs fighting.  I later found out that they alwayse come into camp lookin…

Today was an eye-opener.  I may go back on what I am saying here at some point...but really truely I will never complain about ANYTHING...the rest of my life.  I spent the day in a one room school house teaching a very excited bunch of kids English...that was a mess.   Then …

Fall semester of my senior year in college, I left to work at an orphanage and shoot a documentary...here are some photos for everyone. Sorry, they're not really in any order.

Dunno why i do find Kampala is an interesting African city. People and traffic are everywhere at anytime. People are always busy for sth..maybe working..or farming for their own familes... Everyone is so hard-working. Uganda is really one of the fast-growing country in Africa. ...People are very ni…

The word safari is derived from Swahili which means "long journey". This term has now become synonymous with wildlife tours to the different regions of Africa and the World over. Kenya is a land teeming with wildlife safari attractions from the Masai Mara national park which is part of the Serenget…

So, here we are back in Kampala, the capital of Uganda - and what a huge city it is! We arrived yesterday after crossing the Equator and taking plenty of photos (with the poses that one takes when crossing the Equator, of course!). The campsite here is supposed to be very quiet, however, the local…

Brian and I quit our jobs in Holland and left Amsterdam in October 2005. We spent several months backpacking from Ethiopia down to South Africa then up to Zambia. Heres just a few highlights of our trip.
