As Karen and I ramp up planning for the trips we’ll be leading to Africa later this year and into 2026, I’ve been thinking about the golden monkeys we visit while in Uganda and Rwanda. We go to those countries primarily for the mountain gorillas, but on our off day, we have the option to trek to the bamboo forest where the endangered golden monkeys live. There’s something about all that green bamboo that can be very photogenic. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/250th of a second.

I love and look forward to all of your photos!!
There surely are a thousand words that could be written as the back drop to this image of the golden monkey’s upward gaze. What an moving photo, Sean!
