Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Tracking of the endangered mountain gorillas is a truly unique experience, something only equaled by walking with lions or swimming with great whites. It is the only activity I have done where you are completely at the mercy of the animals. These creatures you've only ever seen on television are within touching distance. They are so familiar and exhibit such human qualities you have the immense urge to walk over and shake their hand. The mannerisms and movements have such a resemblance to how humans move and act, I find it incredible that people still refuse to believe in evolution. One memory of many that will last with me forever is off a 2 year old staring at us with inquisitive eyes while aimlessly scratching an itch on his arm. It was exactly what I could imagine myself doing while watching TV on Sunday afternoon. At the same time if they felt you were encroaching on their space you would very quickly know about it. The immense power coupled with stunning grace is on show at all times. It only took the lead silverback to effortlessly slide down the trunk of a tree and crash through the undergrowth to drive the point home. Tracking through the dense jungle to view the gorillas for 1 hour is completely at the invitation of the gorillas. You are a privileged guest and nothing else, totally in their domain.
Seeing the mountain gorillas ranks right at the top of sites, activities, etc... that I've done in my life, and it will take something spectacular to top it.
