A little about this image...
After a trek through the jungle we came upon the Mukiza gorilla family and stayed with them for an hour. They ignored us, being used to visitors, and a ranger who was with them all day. The baby cried at one point and not only his mother, but also the big silverback came running to see what was the matter. The return trek was in the rain, uphill in the mud. I thought I wasn't going to make it, and was pushed and pulled up the last hill by my porters.
