1. A native monkey of the Nile Resort Hotel
1. Focused on anything bar the camera
1. A hello from one grubby monkey
A mother and her baby
Watching my every move intently
Nothing will distract him from his food
Enjoying the fruit with each bite
Such personality in one look
Jinja monkey’s in the natural habitat
A mothers protective arms
One of the many dragonflies fluttering around the resort
A Nile view on our doorstep
Life on the Nile
The green landscapes of Uganda
A child’s loneliness
The skeleton of the Embaire
Highly detailed trimming to make sure each nail is just right
The placement of the keys, one by one
Each key is decorated in a similar pattern, creating a set of them
All in place so the final stage of construction can begin
Carefully tuning each key
Whilst one tunes, the others nail between the keys to hold them in place
Each key has been carefully carved and decorated
Wooden nails help to secure the keys during playing
Finely tuning to ear the keys
Enjoying every aspect of music
Waiting in anticipation, the community start to gather
One little boys curiosity
Excitement and awe to all the new things the day brings
Looks of wariness to the new arrivals
Getting to know more about the villagers of Nakibembe
Families sat ready for the traditional music and songs
Children dancing to the beats of the Embaire
Someone spotted the camera
Children of Nakibembe
Families of Nakibembe
The awe in discovering Phil’s watch
An engaging game of high fives
Rebekah teaching the girls clapping sequences
Even the children gather round to listen to the music
A child playing in the red sands of Uganda
Always following where the camera goes
Connecting with the community of Nakibembe
Musicians of Nakibembe
Becoming rather attached to the camera
Traditional dancing starts young
Insisting on another group shot
Attaching the scarf around your hips before you can dance
Getting to know the moves of Uganda
The pro dancer, showing us how its done
Families from the village
Enjoying the music on his way back home
The landscape of Nakibembe

Tapping out the beat with a bottle
Enjoying his turn at high fives
A brothers portrait
Interacting with children, learning the rhythms of clapping
Transport of goods to sell at their stalls further on in the village
Sat patiently whilst we begin sampling
Towards the end of a busy day sampling

Down by the River Nile
Still waters and green land
Wildlife on the Nile
Following our way round the Nile Discovery Resort Beach
The natural habitat of the Nile
Life down on the river
Cooling down in the water
Flying over the Nile
Getting ready to land in the stillness of the river
The serenity of the Nile
Gentle strokes rippling in the water
Cleaning up in the shallow parts of the Nile
The many views from the Nile Discovery Resort Beach
Mainland architecture
Following the waters edge
Watching the life surrounding the Nile

The busy residents of the Namuwongo Slum
Children from the slum
Namuwongo side streets and house entrances
Rain residue from the previous day
The distance between each living settlement
The sewage flow within the Slum
Family life in the Namuwongo district
Children sat in the side streets with nothing to do
Children throwing cats for fun
Shying away from us as we visit the slum
Children who decided to help show us the way around
The remains of houses, which once stood in Namuwongo
The landscape past the slum
Rubbish building up on the land from the locals in the slum
