Gorilla Trekking (2 of 2)

It's a little hard to describe this experience. Trackers preceed the groups, to inform the guides where the gorilla family is. Ours was a family of 17, including two Silverbacks and a 1 -month old baby. When we got close, our first glimpse was of a couple of juveniles playing, and an adult hanging out. The guides, however, do a good job of teasing out where the others are, and bringing us closer to them. We were very close to some, in fact Deb had a leg brush with one of the larger adults! It was very cool to watch them for an hour...Mother doting over baby, 3-year old jumping and spinning around, Silverback moseying over to the others, juveniles climbing trees and playing. The hour went fast! Here are some pics, but of course it's hard to capture the experience adequately with photos.Baca lagi
