This mama gorilla and her baby walked right past me in Rwanda. šŸ¦ One of the coolest experiences of my life!I was doing my best to follow our guide’s instructions: bow my head and not make eye contact so she would not get mad at me. šŸ˜… And the throat clearing is a friendly/submissive way to introduce ourselves to each other, too...We were supposed to do the "easy" tracking this day. But these guys decided to give us a run for our money for 7.5 hours with hiking up and down the muddiest conditions I have ever attempted, lol. So worth it though!Full gorilla trekking video is up on my YouTube channel, including everything I did wrong and what I’d do differently. LTKTravel LTKSaleAlert LTKstorytime
