Exactly 1 year ago today, my wife and I were hikign through the PNV in Rwanda going to see the great mountain gorillas. We were trekking to see the Sabinyo group. It was the climaz to an [color:"purple"]amazing month in Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda[/color]. Soon I will post my entire trip report here. For this who want jump ahead, they can go to www.waynehazle.com/eastafrica/ My trip report is in a PDF file. There are also quick time video of various moments on the trip.

I think I was around 20 - 30 feet from him. At times we got to within 4 feet of some gorillas. A blackback walked by a group of us and we could have touched him.
I would NOT want to be within arms length of this guy however. While they are habituated to humans, he was definitely keeping an eye on us. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Mad.gif" alt="" />
