Perfect
I joined a gorilla trekking tour in Bwindi.
I was assisted with the process of obtaining the gorilla permit, and they helped me with all the procedures. They also gave me useful information about the surrounding areas, which was incredibly helpful.
The permit usually costs $800, but thanks to a government campaign, I was able to get it for $600.
Since the waiting time at the office to receive the permit can be quite long, it’s better to go early in the morning.
In the Ruhija area, there are several gorilla groups, so I was able to encounter a gorilla family after about 30 minutes of trekking.
The appearance of the group’s dominant silverback was overwhelmingly powerful and intimidating, yet at the same time, there was something calm, warm, and gentle in his eyes. It felt like stepping into a quiet and deeply profound world.
It was an incredibly rich experience—truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Thank you, Peter.
