GORILLAS

"There is a deep spirituality in the gorilla that is hard to describe, and it is something that must be experienced to truly understand." - Diane Fossey

After 3 hours of a steep hike into the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, we found the Katwe family. Words cannot describe the incredible emotion of seeing these gentle gorillas up so close. Their peaceful demeanor and majestic presence took my breath away, literally. By now you probably know my deep love for animals, this was truly special and this encounter will forever hold a special place in my heart.
