Should you wish to take a video to go and see the Gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda you may incur an extra cost of up to US$ 20 or more for home videos. There is no charge for personal cameras, eg digital, SLR etc. 



Professional photographers or media should advise us at the time of booking.

The vehicles are not equipped with sophisticated recharging equipment.  You would have to charge directly from the battery - you will need to supply your own equipment to do this.

Film, tapes, batteries, etc. are not always readily available in Uganda / Rwanda - ensure you have ample for the trip.



Some lodges have facilities sufficient for charging batteries, but not all, so come prepared with extra, just in case.



Do not photograph any government buildings, police or military posts.  Ask permission before photographing local tribesmen.  For gorilla photography a 35 - 70 mm zoom, or 50 mm fixed is usually sufficient, but you may want to carry a longer lens but remember you may well be in low light conditions.  Take fast film if using film (200-400 ASA plus), you may sometimes be allowed to use flash, check this with your gorilla guide.

Game & bird photography obviously longer lens would be recommended 80-300mm ideally. 



Do not spend all your time with the gorillas trying for the classic photograph, look around you and observe and enjoy these gentle animals.
