    Mountain Gorillas in Uganda

    By wandereruk  |  Posted August 5, 2008  |  Nr Kisoro, Uganda
     

    I was so lucky to see these guys in the hills of SW Uganda. It was a band of 15 of all ages and sizes. We sat just feet away from them on a steep mountain side while they ate and played. A 2yo wanted to hold my hand. Well, you can't because you carry germs which may be lethal to them. The permit costs $560 but that pays for the rangers, without whom the gorillas would be dead.
