What a thrill to hang out with Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees in Uganda! The trek to get to where the gorillas happen to be is challenging and can take a long time. The terrain is hilly, dense, not flat, and difficult. Guides and porters really help to address the challenges.
Gorillas
We found our first gorilla up in a tree. Exciting, but wait…

Chimpanzees
The chimpanzees hang out in less dense areas than the gorillas.
