Default Mountain Gorillas

Amazing animals and an amazing experience to be so close to them in their own environment.

Yes, this is in Ruhengeri, Rwanda, in the Volcanoes National Park, but you can also do it in Uganda.

I can't recommend this enough. It is such a humbling experience. We trekked for a good hour and a half and then suddenly you're face to face with a hulk of a silverback. The pain of the arduous walk fades immediately.There's just no words for it.

Thanks Geodude.

Flew into Nairobi and travelled through Kenya, then into Uganda and finally Rwanda. I'll post up some more photos later.
