Central Africa/Congo Basin

Once again, language was a barrier. Our rangers started shaking their heads, then sat us down on a log. We thought the gorillas had moved away. 30 minutes later, a different ranger came to fetch us. Turns out, another group had beaten us to the gorilla family, so we had to wait. The new ranger led us further into the jungle and there they were....sort of. The silverback was feeding and remained on the move, which meant all the other gorillas were also on the move. For the hour we were allowed to stay with them, in addition to the silverback, we saw a baby, a female, and a few juveniles. The rest of the family remained out of sight
