Semliki’s Specialities: a Touch of Congo in Uganda

In the summer of 2025, I spent three weeks traveling through Uganda. Some of the most remarkable days or sightings from this trip I’m writing out in separate blog posts with plenty of photos. This time it’s Semliki’s turn!

Shoebill: A Top Bird

Uganda – a country I always knew I would visit one day! Not only is this the place where you can see Gorillas and Chimpanzees up close, but it also has so much more to offer. The trip I took in the summer of 2025 was mainly focused on seeing as many bird species as possible. Personally, I’ve long accepted that I won’t end up with the world’s biggest bird list, since I also love dedicating time to other animals. My personal “must-see” bird list was therefore quite short. But there was no doubt which one stood at the very top: the Shoebill.

A few days of birding on Bali

Bali is one of those places that hardly needs an introduction for most people. For years, it has been known as a haven for European vacationers looking to go a bit farther than the Spanish sun and perhaps also interested in learning the basics of yoga. But Bali also hosts a variety of fascinating bird species! For me, Bali was primarily a stopover en route to a place that dóes require an introduction for many: the country of Timor-Leste, or East Timor. In that country, I hoped to photograph blue whales underwater. But first, a stopover in Bali!
