Species: Mountain Gorilla / Kavuyo | Location: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park , Uganda
After trekking for almost 3 hours through Bwindi, we neared the habituated gorilla family, Habinyanja. As we cleared a path through the dense jungle, we found ourselves face to face with the family's blackback, Kavuyo. After catching my breath from the realization we were now among a family of gorilla, I lifted my camera and snapped one photo before lowering it again to allow myself the opportunity to take in my surroundings and our new new hosts. Kavuyo's demeanor was reminiscent of someone ruminating and lost in his own thoughts. Sharing this moment with him was unforgettable.
