stuny Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted February 5, 2021 Louis - Thank you. Mike - Thank you, but bravery is not an issue. Gorillas are very peaceful, and the families of gorillas tourists visit are somewhat habituated to people. - For the most part they ignore you. For the protection of the gorillas you must remain at least 5 meters away from them (sometimes difficult if a youngster is curious), primarily to avoid giving them any of our diseases . If you have a cold you cannot go on a trek -- We share a huge percentage of DNA with them. In the Republic of Congo we also had to wear masks. In Uganda, Rwanda and Congo you are limited to just an hour with t family. Barbara quipped, regarding how they largely ignore us, that they mutter to one another to pay the humans no heed -- they'll get bored and leave us within an hour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most emotive experiences of my life - one of the most muddy too Thanks for posting. Did you visit other parts of Uganda too? QE Natioonal Park? Murchinson falls?

stuny Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted February 6, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jaap - Thank you. This was in February 2009, and we visited both Uganda and Rwanda, doing gorilla trekking in both countries, but oh so much more. In just Uganda, after a start in Entebbe, we first visited Nbamba Island, staying over two nights, and doing a forest walk with the chimps (the young females loved to ride on my back piggyback style). From there to QE park, then Bwindi, then Mgahinga National Park. After that, Rwanda.
