Image of The Week: Rwanda – Gorilla Mother and Baby

This image was taken at Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, in 2003. The day we spent with these magnificent creatures was amazing, and something I will never forget, for as long as I live. This was my second time sitting with the Gorilla’s, as I’d also seen them in Zaire about 10 years previous. We were also very lucky to meet Dr George Schaller on this day, who was in Rwanda with Discovery Chanel, filming the 40th anniversary of his initial research into Gorilla’s before being handed over to Diane Fossey. With all the drama’s in the region of late, I hope the Mountain Gorilla population has not suffered to greatly, and people can continue to have an experience such as ours.
