Great Escape to Uganda

Photographer Jonathan Gregson (www.jonathangregson.co.uk) and I went to Uganda to research a feature for Lonely Planet magazine's 10th-year anniversary issue, focussing on a theme of unusual adventures. The things that stay with me from that trip aren't the more conventional once-in-a-lifetimey ones (seeing gorillas and chimps in the wild) but a couple of less familiar ones: spending time with cattle herders (Ankole cattle have the best horns in the world: fact), and managing to find a rare and prehistoric-looking spoonbill in the Mabamba Swamps outside of Entebbe. Two of my favourite images in the feature are of those two experiences, too. Layout by Hayley Ward.
