#543 - Trekking Gorillas in Bwindi
Episode description
Andrew just got back from four days of gorilla trekking in Uganda's Bwindi forest, and he's breaking down what it's really like getting close to mountain gorillas. From a three-week-old baby born with tourists watching to 400-pound silverbacks walking past you like you're not even there.
He covers the reality vs expectations, why a 70-200mm lens is essential, how the guides prioritize gorilla welfare over perfect shots, and that crucial moment when you need to put the camera down and just experience it. Plus insights from spending time with the Batwa people and learning local culture.
If gorilla trekking is on your bucket list, this is what you need to know before you go.
