Client Testimonials

Uganda

Charlotte is an excellent photo tour guide and was very adept at dealing with all the personalities that sign up for a trip. I enjoyed her very much, and felt safe and well care for. I hope to travel with her again and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Uganda does not seem like the easiest country to run a photo safari in, and both Charlotte and the team on the ground did a wonderful job.

Uganda

My photo tour to Uganda was excellent. My guide, Charlotte Arthun, was very patient, helpful and knowledgeable and a delight to travel with. She provided several tips on how to improve my photo compositions in the jungle. Our local Uganda guide, Moses, was also a pleasure to be with. The camps were comfortable, food was good and the treks and drives were everything I hoped they would be.
