Once you happen upon your gorilla group all tiredness will go away and you get to spend an hour with a troop of these fabled creatures.You will marvel at their interactions, displays, playing, eating and sleeping.There is so much to recognise in our own human behaviour.The encounter is considered one of the great wild animal encounters on the planet.
