What awesome creatures! I would love to see them up close. I fear they will not survive though..numbers are just too low for come back. Heartbreaking that humans have almost destroyed these gorgeous animals.

If the Rwandans were rich they'd all be paying thousands of dollars to visit the United States and see bears.

@Pulsar205 We don't have souls either.

I remember seeing one up close at London Zoo when I was 5 years old. Lovely to see one up close but sad it was imprisoned in a cage. I think they have a better idea now with much larger enclosures and run them less like circuses.

@eatcarpet Aren't they! Their looks and mannerisms. But they have no soul like we do.

Don't worry gorillas are supposed to be gentle.

They're so strangely human.

The silverback has a cone-head.

I spent two weeks traveling through Kenya, Uganda and finally Rwanda. The entire trip cost about €2500, (The Gorilla permit alone now costs in the region of €500!). I booked this trip through Exodus however many of the other travel companies offer simaliar trips

You can go within three metres of the gorillas, however they may decide to come closer to you!, one of the blackback males touched me on my arm!!!

It's quite safe, each group of eight people travel with two guides and an armed guard. Poachers keep well away from these areas.
