A Photographers Guide to the Big Five | Rwanda
By Humberto Tan | Photographer
A photographerβs guide to wildlife spotting in Rwanda
The assignment for photographer Humberto Tan was to capture the Big Five and the Gorillas.
Because wild gorillas only live in Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is quite a challenge to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
In this guide, Humberto shows you where to go and where to stay on your search for these illustrious creatures.
