@Andrew – You will love observing the gorillas – truly an incredible experience. Also highly recommend Nyungwe National Park. It’s not very popular but home to incredible wildlife and very beautiful!

This is all amazing – I’ve looked through a couple of your Rwanda posts and it looks like an epic trip.

I’m off to Rwanda in February, we got our gorilla permits confirmed a week or two ago, but haven’t yet looked at much else to do while we’re there. I can’t wait to get up to see the gorillas though!

Awesome photos! I’ve been looking into doing this either in Uganda or Rwanda but this post might have swayed it for me.

In reply to Ali. @Ali - I know, who knew that gorillas also liked to get drunk. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and I am so grateful for the opportunity.

Laurel, this sounds awesome! I can’t imagine being this close to gorillas in the wild. And the drunk thing? Hilarious! I’m so glad you got to do something like this you’ve been dreaming about!

@Katherine – I was so grateful for the photography tip so that I could enjoy the gorillas and not be fiddling with my camera settings.

In reply to Marisol@TravelingSolemates. Thanks @Marisol. My encounter with Kampanga and her baby was definitely the highlight. I was shocked at how expensive the permit was as well. It used to be $500, but the government increased the price a while ago.
