Mountain Gorilla

Baby, 7 months old!

I am currently in Africa, Rwanda, and have been trekking to the Mountain Gorillas in the Vulcano National Park. These are the only wild mountain gorillas in the world
and there are about 730 here in the park's protective environment. The Vulcano Park straddles the Virunda Massive (5 vulcanos) in Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo.
It was a fabulous adventure despite the rain, mud, slip and slide!

Fantastic. What a time you must be having. Difficult shot to get I would think.
