@@reikidreams9265 Hahhaa true! I appreciate these over anything Hollywood produces. Only wish is to make the whole world see their talent. I follow alot of travel vloggers and no one comes close to them. Imagine a Netflix Kara and Nate series🍿
I’m a personal care attendant. My young adult client loves when I turn on your videos. He’s non verbal, but is so engaged in the videos. Love it!!! Thank you for posting!
@@KaraandNate done! He said thank you! I’ve been watching y’all for years…back in your trek to Everest base camp days. I’m happy to share my love for you channel with others. It’s part of our Saturday morning routine now!
I’m a chimp keeper here in the US and it’s my life goal to go on this trip. I’ve devoted my whole life to caring and conserving chimpanzees and other primates. Thank you for such an amazing video of these amazing animals.
Omg…priceless! I started crying from the moment you heard the chimps. Tears of absolute joy and love of nature. I was a wild life rehabber/rescuer for over 6 years in the states of Illinois and Indiana. It never escaped me what an absolute privilege it was being such an integral part of our native wildlife. What an absolute privilege for you both to have this opportunity to share moments with Primates ❤. Thank you for bringing this experience to your viewers. Feeling blessed and grateful ❤
When Kara and Nate are 80+ years old and looking back on all the amazing experiences they’ve had throughout their lifetime, I hope they can be so proud of everything they’ve accomplished and seen, because most of us will never get to experience 1/8th of the things they’ve done… but I am so grateful to live vicariously through their channel and enjoy each and every one of these videos like I’m travelling along with them 🌎 🙏🏻❤️ thank you for sharing all of your adventures!!
I noticed all the comments about the video being one hour and thought that was impossible. I was so engaged in this video which made the hour fly by! Absolutely stunning. What an unbelievable experience!!
Just watched Phase 3. What an honour to have a virtual front row seat to this once-in-a-lifetime experience for you. I am so glad your excursion was successful and you had that ‘intimidating’ interaction with the silverback. I so so enjoyed the whole video but this last part for me was pure vicarious pleasure. My husband and I could never go on such a trip due to health issues but seeing it through your eyes was a delight. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Might be my favorite video of yours. Being a lifelong Jane Goodall fan, or more appreciation of her life’s work, this is what I wanted from about age 12. Being disabled, it is no longer possible. So thank you for taking us along on this journey.
Is there an Oscars/Filmmakers Award for TH-cam Creators? There should be… I nominate Nate Buchanan, man I was on the edge of my seat this entire episode. Stunning documentary!
@@thatonebrowngirll Kara is an amazing editor & filming professional. Actually, I was referring to the Park Ranger that said Nate "Didn't Move" when the Gorilla came close, just to get the shot. That was highly courageous, just to film a segment. I would have ran away screaming like a toddler. LOL :)
On a trip ‘up north’ in michigan my wife surprised me with a fly fishing session. so we got up at 5 and waited in a morning mist parking lot by a lake for our guide. I asked her how we would recognize him. She said he would be wearing a black blazer. After about another 5 minutes I asked her if he really said he would be wearing a black blazer or maybe he said he would be in a black blazer. 20 years later we are still laughing about it. ❤
I genuinely have tears in my eyes realizing that this is the world I live in, even if I may never get to see these incredible and graceful creatures with my own eyes, thank you so much for doing the next best thing and sharing your amazing adventure!!!
You look young enough to sock a little extra money away here and there to pay for an eventual gorilla trek of your own. May not be anytime soon but hopefully you have a long and prosperous life and are able to see and do the things you’ve always wanted to do.
This is how it should have always been when trying to see wild animals instead of capturing them and locking them up. Seeing them in their home is beautiful ❤ thank you for sharing Kara and Nate
Wowwwww this was surreal watching the gorillas. Looking into their eyes, it does feel like they’re staring into your soul and you can feel their connection. This episode was very special 🫶 thank you for taking us along. Also hshahahahaa the story where the guide wanted you to do the introduction and clear your throat 😂😂 I’m dying laughing.
At one point Nate called the video an episode and that is just perfect. K&N is the best travel show/mini documentary I have seen! Keep these amazing episodes coming!!!
I might be over emotional because I'm sick with a very bad cold/flu but I was in tears and glued to my monitor throughout this entire episode. I will never have the opportunity to do this, nor be physically able to (my life is caring for my autistic son) so watching this experience and having my sound turned up to hear all the things was just a wonderful experience...like I was there. THANK YOU for doing these crazy things you do...I literally live vicariously through you and honestly get so much out of it...almost like taking the adventure via transporting my mind with the help of your cinematic captures and your infectious enthusiasm...so I can stay content and happy in my caregiving life. If I could show my son any little part of the world you experience it would be a dream....but since that isn't possible, this is truly the next best thing. I love you guys for being so....well, for just being YOU and sharing it with us.
I have watched soooo many of your guy’s videos and I’ve never seen you guys put yourself in a “danger” situation like this! I look up to you guys sooo much for travel inspiration for me and my boyfriend, we have a very much YOLO type of an attitude so seeing you guys enjoy the world without being in danger 24/7 gives me a lot of comfort
This is precious! Ogmygoshhhhh! You guys! I felt like I was right there with you! Hands down, it's one of the best videos or documentaries! wowwwww! when the silverback went behind the bushhhhh! oh my goodness! held my breath! bless you guys! xx
I’m a wife and a mom of 4, at this time a can’t travel and see the world, but I hope you know you are loved and incredible people for what show us with smiles on your faces! Thank you for your time and thank you for sharing it❤❤ huge fan in Dallas Texas (stay strong Kara)
literally everyday i come home from school, do my homework and then lay in bed grab sum food and watch kara and nate videos, keep up the good work you guys inspire me so much!!
I went to Bwindi a few years ago! The dancing ladies from Ride 4 A Woman are wonderful, and the gorillas are even better. I was watching a mama gorilla with her five year old daughter, and suddenly the ranger told me to keep still. I hadn't noticed a whole extra group of gorillas off to my right, coming toward me because I was in between them and the tree where they were clearly trying to go. I stayed still as instructed... and the gorillas, one by one, carefully put their hands on my knee, hopped over my lap, and went on their way. I got a couple of photos while they were actually right there on my legs, or I'm not sure I would actually believe it even happened. There was even a mother with a baby on her back, and the baby came within a foot of my face as she hopped over me. I will never forget the smell of warm, damp, woolly fur in my face, or the feel of those gentle, precise black leather hands.
@@KaraandNate I'm jealous of a lot of the places you've been, so I guess we're kind of even. 😉 But I never, *ever* expected them to come right over and voluntarily touch me. That was one of the most incredible moments of my life.
Gladys! What a woman, love her energy. Cried as though I was living through you right there. What an immense privilege to get to stand with such beautiful creatures.
Straight out of Iceland, and into Uganda. Talk about polar opposite destinations. Welcome to Wild Kingdom, Kara and Nate style. Doesn't get much better. No matter where they are, these two never fail to entertain, enthrall, enchant, inform, amaze...all the above. We watch their videos and being so immersed, hardly paying attention to how much time is left. After all, why would we want them to end? And Kara, you deserve to have a chimp named after you. ❤❤❤
Gosh! When I tuned in, I wasn't a big monkey/chimp/gorilla person, but by the end I was thinking this should be my next trip. Thanks Kara and Nate for sharing another incredible experience with us!
I've been watching your videos for the past 7 years and this is actually the first time I comment. This might be the best video you ever did, I teared up. What an amazing experience!!!
You deserve an award for this documentary! This was cinematically beautiful and so well produced. Your emotions pored through and took the viewer through the heart racing scenes. So wonderful!
Oh my gosh thank you for taking us on an incredible journey. When you got close enough to see the gorillas I just started to cry happy tears, you captured the moment so beautifully. Just an Incredible vlog.
Words can't describe how great this video is. Seeing these primates in their natural habitates is most beautiful. For me the closest I will get is at a zoo or a wildlife park. Thank you Nate and Kara for sharing this experience here on TH-cam.
I am a medical student- i think Nate should get his eye checked by a ophthalmologist😅- insect bite in eye usually leaves behind a sting or some remanent in eye or may be just a small wound - which can be easily detected on a slit lamp examination( microscope kinda thing) just some eyedrop n through eye wash might be done , its always better to get it checked. Great video guys.
This is so unbelievable, to be that close to the gorillas families and not be hurt. Your guides were so well trained and understood their behavior. I cried when Kara cried. What a thrill of a lifetime. Thank you! Thank you!
They arent aggressive because we arent on the menu. They are pretty timid animals and they go out of their way to avoid confrontation. Totally different situation going on a trek to see big cats who are vicious fighters far beyond gorillas and they have a particular taste for humans 😁
@ we actually are on their menu. Gorillas are herbavores. Chimps are omnivores like us. If a gorilla found a dead human in the wild it likely wouldn’t eat it. A chimp probably would.
I am living vicariously through the two of you. I love how Kara reacts to the experience... I watched the video of when you interacted with the whales... don't tell anyone but I cried
The guide from the second Gorilla sighting has such a good sense of humor, love and knowledge about the Gorillas. I appreciate Uganda, I have no doubt about Africans efforts of conservation our tribes have been living along side these animals for thousands of years. In the South we consider our animals like the big 5 sacred. It is foreigners that poach them to sell into the Asian market. Watching from South Africa❤❤
I saw an interview with a primatologist who said that when you come across a troop of chimps or gorillas in the jungle, it's because they let you. They're aware of you way before you're aware of them.
These creatures are so mysterious and beautiful. Your thrill of being there and achieving a bucket list made years ago I am sure has inspired many to tackle their own list. Your pure raw emotion making contact with these majestic gorillas brought tears to my eyes. You bring us to places that we can only dream of sometimes and our appreciation is felt deeply.
Ok you two. You’ve done it again. Amazing video! Tonight I watched the entire thing and I must say, after three hurricanes here in Sarasota, having seeing many destroyed lives, homes lost, this brought back my tears of many of Gods creations! Thank you for making tears come from smiling and no sadness. Thank you, thank you.
15:09 At this point these guys were speaking my exact language..... thank you Kara and Nate for visiting my region and country..... much love from Uganda 🇺🇬
Ok this vlog made me cry, very emotional seeing so much natural beauty with these animals in the wild. On one hand its great you went there to show us them, to support the local economy and how respectful the guides were, on the other I wish these wonderful animals could be left alone and not get used to seeing humans around. So beautiful and majestic. Thanks for showing us.
The duality of tourism is that tourists destroy what they like. The first person that travels there likes the natural beauty, goes home and tells his friends about it. More and more people go there and the natural beauty disappears. In Uganda they protect the natural beauty of there country as much as possible.
without tourism, these animals wouldn't be protected from poaching, as well it is really expensive to get permits to do gorilla trekking, to limit the amount of people that do it , low volume low impact.(~700 a day in Uganda, ~500 in Congo ~1500 in Rwanda).
My wife and I have been watching ALL of your videos since you started van life during the 'rona. We're not very interactive, but I had to drop in and say BRAVO. What a fantastic video. And you have had so many, but it finally prompted me to say something. Today is my wife's birthday and she thanks you for this beautiful birthday present!
Dear Kara, I am watching the video from today. The emotion on your voice when you saw your first gorilas made me well up and cry. What a beautiful episode.
As someone who’s lived in the same city for 20 years and never travels I can’t even fathom the amount of things you guys have seen. It almost seems overwhelming 😂
You guys never disappoint. I love the diversity of your content. Physical challenge one week, travelers dream(Iceland) next week, chilling with monkeys next week. Best youtubers!
To go to Africa was my number one dream. I took my son there when he was 15. And it was beyond beyond! But even more than Africa, generally, is to do this gorilla trek! This is my favorite video you guys have ever produced. Thank you so much for this! I am going to do this!❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible journey. My BP went up. With Kara’s. Omg, thanks for sharing this, I love gorillas, they are so beautiful and strong. Love the silliness of their antics. Love you both. ❤😊
We don't know how I can thank you enough for sharing this amazing experience. I was crying as soon as the mountain gorillas appeared. You two do the best travel videos on TH-cam and are as good as anything we watch on television. If TH-cam gives awards your channel should be getting them. ❤
You guys are so brave! That could never be me. I wish all Gorillas in the world all the love and peace, I'm gonna stay here in my house. Thank you very much.
Love the video, it's incredibly educational! Nate, please get checked for Lyme disease after coming into contact with the tick. I had Lyme disease, but thankfully, I got antibiotics in time before it caused too much damage. It can truly ruin your life if it's not caught in time. All the best!
@lilili101 My first sign was the typical bull's-eye rash (thankfully, I got it, as not everyone does and the tick had fallen off before I had noticed it). Then, I felt like I had the flu. During my treatment for it, I had some pretty bad brain fog, but that could have been caused by the medication for it, as I don't suffer too badly from it now, nearly six years on.
@daniellesammy0827 I'm so sorry to hear that. Lyme disease is such a poorly understood disease that it can easily be missed. I'm not sure where you are from, but in the UK, it's pretty rare for a tick bite to turn into Lyme disease here. I was refused medication by two hospitals and a doctor's surgery because they didn't believe that I had it. Finally, after the third try at a hospital, I was given the medication I needed. They couldn't believe I had been turned away so many times. I'm so passionate about trying to let as many people know about what to look out for and to fight for the medication if you feel there's a chance you've got it. Unfortunately, for people like yourself who hadn't managed to get the medication in time, know all too well what it can do. I wish you the best of luck in the future.
Wow. I mean..... WOW! Thank you for taking us with you. What an experience! And how wonderful to hear that the conservation efforts ARE working, and that the local human population is benefiting too. Thank you.
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. This was such an incredible experience to watch the Gorillas interact with y’all. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. I've been in a dark place and probably won't be traveling much the next few years. I am so grateful that you are sharing these moments to remind me there's so much more to life and to focus on the simple things ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing! This has been a dream of mine since I read about Dian Fossey work when I was young. She truly had a passion for these beautiful beings! Thank you for not just sharing but making this trip for all of us to!
I haven't seen you guys for ages and here you are in Uganda looking for Chimps and Gorillas. Absolutely fantastic. I have traveled the world a lot including Tiger safaris in India and wild life in Africa. At one stage I was at the Kilimanjaro base camp and it was not far to view Gorillas from there but - no time. This is so great that you 2 are doing this. Best wishes from Australia.

I'm from Kenya can I come here specific nakuru
The guides were awesome and made sure everyone is safe . They literally carried Nate and Kara.
All I know is I would NOT be walking around this forest in a tank top the day after finding a giant spider in my bedroom 😂 Kara, you are brave!! Lol!
Right my ass would faint if one bug touched my chicken self 😂
I was worried about her not being safely dressed on the
top. No skin coverage for bugs, thorns, etc. Surprised they let her go like that.
@@apc.0174 I would be fully covered. The ticks alone.
Favorite moment where I giggled! Kara saying to “I’m scared I’m going to reply in the wrong way & they are going to get the wrong message.” 😅😍
When you can't find anything you wanna watch and than kara and Nate post a 1 hour video
Yeeeehaw HOPE U LUV IT 🥰
No, because I was literally looking for a video to watch and then this popped up and I got so excited
Literally. I just finished Gilmore Girls again and felt lost. Than I saw this gift they shared!!
We never watch tv anymore, TH-cam videos are the best , especially Kara and Nate’s.

Cosmos is the best. His eyes matched with his smile made the seriousness of the situation feel safer somehow.
K&N demonstrate genuine respect for the entire expedition. And yet they condensed a week into a one hour video (and I am not complaining).
my only complaint is that the video is “short”.

Great video guys.
Agree with you. I work at an Eye center also. Should have it checked out
What an experience
Also tick-borne illnesses are no joke!
Especially after whatever leeched onto his eye region from earlier videos. He still has the worm like scar by his eye.
As a nurse, I came to make this same comment. I hope all is well when he gets checked.🖤
This is so unbelievable, to be that close to the gorillas families and not be hurt.
Your guides were so well trained and understood their behavior.
I cried when Kara cried. What a thrill of a lifetime. Thank you! Thank you!
They arent aggressive because we arent on the menu. They are pretty timid animals and they go out of their way to avoid confrontation. Totally different situation going on a trek to see big cats who are vicious fighters far beyond gorillas and they have a particular taste for humans 😁
@@trenken we arent on the menu for chimps either but guess what those AKs are for. hint, not the elephants like they are saying :\
@ we actually are on their menu. Gorillas are herbavores. Chimps are omnivores like us. If a gorilla found a dead human in the wild it likely wouldn’t eat it. A chimp probably would.
I am living vicariously through the two of you. I love how Kara reacts to the experience... I watched the video of when you interacted with the whales... don't tell anyone but I cried
The guide from the second Gorilla sighting has such a good sense of humor, love and knowledge about the Gorillas. I appreciate Uganda, I have no doubt about Africans efforts of conservation our tribes have been living along side these animals for thousands of years. In the South we consider our animals like the big 5 sacred. It is foreigners that poach them to sell into the Asian market. Watching from South Africa❤❤
I saw an interview with a primatologist who said that when you come across a troop of chimps or gorillas in the jungle, it's because they let you. They're aware of you way before you're aware of them.
If this wasn't better than a Nat Geo documentary. Getting your personal commentary makes it so much more fun! ❤ Beautifully done.
Kara’s energy is top notch this episode
These creatures are so mysterious and beautiful. Your thrill of being there and achieving a bucket list made years ago I am sure has inspired many to tackle their own list. Your pure raw emotion making contact with these majestic gorillas brought tears to my eyes. You bring us to places that we can only dream of sometimes and our appreciation is felt deeply.
Ok you two. You’ve done it again. Amazing video! Tonight I watched the entire thing and I must say, after three hurricanes here in Sarasota, having seeing many destroyed lives, homes lost, this brought back my tears of many of Gods creations! Thank you for making tears come from smiling and no sadness. Thank you, thank you.
15:09 At this point these guys were speaking my exact language..... thank you Kara and Nate for visiting my region and country..... much love from Uganda 🇺🇬
I am SOBBING at home right now, what a surreal experience! I can’t imagine having this in real life wowza guys
Ok this vlog made me cry, very emotional seeing so much natural beauty with these animals in the wild. On one hand its great you went there to show us them, to support the local economy and how respectful the guides were, on the other I wish these wonderful animals could be left alone and not get used to seeing humans around. So beautiful and majestic. Thanks for showing us.
The duality of tourism is that tourists destroy what they like. The first person that travels there likes the natural beauty, goes home and tells his friends about it. More and more people go there and the natural beauty disappears.
In Uganda they protect the natural beauty of there country as much as possible.
without tourism, these animals wouldn't be protected from poaching, as well it is really expensive to get permits to do gorilla trekking, to limit the amount of people that do it , low volume low impact.(~700 a day in Uganda, ~500 in Congo ~1500 in Rwanda).
I don't now the exact numbers, but I believe every national park has a limit with people
My wife and I have been watching ALL of your videos since you started van life during the 'rona. We're not very interactive, but I had to drop in and say BRAVO. What a fantastic video. And you have had so many, but it finally prompted me to say something. Today is my wife's birthday and she thanks you for this beautiful birthday present!
This by far is my favorite Kara and Nate video - just beautiful - what an experience you both have had.
Dear Kara, I am watching the video from today. The emotion on your voice when you saw your first gorilas made me well up and cry. What a beautiful episode.
Me too! ❤
10:14 me and Moses relationship just went to a whole new level 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh Kara😂❤
They are such amazing animals. I hope we can keep protecting these and all other mammals and let them have a safe place on earth.
As someone who’s lived in the same city for 20 years and never travels I can’t even fathom the amount of things you guys have seen. It almost seems overwhelming 😂
Watching this brought
Brought me to tears, praying that these Gorillas stay protected. Thank you for sharing this incredible moment.
Kara, “Let’s change that.”
I screamed but totally agreed.
You guys never disappoint. I love the diversity of your content. Physical challenge one week, travelers dream(Iceland) next week, chilling with monkeys next week. Best youtubers!
A 1-hour Kara & Nate Video Yipeeeeeee!!!!! I am wheezing at that MASSIVE spider catch! 🤣🤣🤣 Nate you are so braveee
this is my absolute dream... im so excited that u did this. I bet that was an immense experience u'll remember for a life time.
To go to Africa was my number one dream. I took my son there when he was 15. And it was beyond beyond! But even more than Africa, generally, is to do this gorilla trek! This is my favorite video you guys have ever produced. Thank you so much for this! I am going to do this!❤❤❤❤❤
The way i was holding my breath when that last silverback was approaching!!
Absolutely LOVE all the cinematic shots in the intro!!
Lol the way he carried you guys over the water
That was my favorite part too. Kara said, looks like our relationship got to a new level 😂
Kara wearing just a tank top is giving me anxiety. Other than that omg.. this is really awesome. !!
HAVE NOT EVEN PRESSED PLAY BUT I KNOW THIS WILL BE MY ALL TIME FAVE KARA AND NATE VIDEO CONSIDERING HOW MUCH I LOVE ALL MONKEYS! CAN'T WAIT!!!
Without doubt one of my favorites. I was crying seeing the gorillas. Thank you❤
Looks like Y'all might hit 4 million subs by Halloween! Congrats guys! 👏
👻🤞🏼
Best thing to watch during my kids nap time. Saturday I have Kara and Nate and Sunday I have Craig and Amy!!!
Incredible journey. My BP went up. With Kara’s. Omg, thanks for sharing this, I love gorillas, they are so beautiful and strong. Love the silliness of their antics. Love you both. ❤😊
Elephants and gorillas, two of my most favorite things to watch. I’ll never be able to do this in my lifetime, thanks for taking me there. ❤
We don't know how I can thank you enough for sharing this amazing experience. I was crying as soon as the mountain gorillas appeared. You two do the best travel videos on TH-cam and are as good as anything we watch on television. If TH-cam gives awards your channel should be getting them. ❤
😂😂😂 Kara misunderstanding the lady making an introduction to the guerilla is absolutely hilarious 😂 ❤
Being Aussie the spider 🕷️ catching was hilarious 😂
Literally 😂 first thing I though was leave it, it will eat the bugs.
@@chaiseikinI might leave it at home, but he has a point about never knowing whether it hid away in your suitcase 🤣
That was a huntsman most likely, right?
I’ve followed you guys for years and I think this might be the most amazing video you’ve ever made. What an incredible experience.
This video is something else and they just keep getting better better I don’t even know how
You guys are so brave! That could never be me. I wish all Gorillas in the world all the love and peace, I'm gonna stay here in my house. Thank you very much.
My heart was beating right along with you during the spider clip. 💗💗💗🥴
Love the video, it's incredibly educational! Nate, please get checked for Lyme disease after coming into contact with the tick. I had Lyme disease, but thankfully, I got antibiotics in time before it caused too much damage. It can truly ruin your life if it's not caught in time. All the best!
What's the symptoms you had?
@lilili101 My first sign was the typical bull's-eye rash (thankfully, I got it, as not everyone does and the tick had fallen off before I had noticed it). Then, I felt like I had the flu. During my treatment for it, I had some pretty bad brain fog, but that could have been caused by the medication for it, as I don't suffer too badly from it now, nearly six years on.
Lucky you because I didn’t . I am 50 years old now and basically homebound!! It’s very serious disease.
@daniellesammy0827 I'm so sorry to hear that. Lyme disease is such a poorly understood disease that it can easily be missed. I'm not sure where you are from, but in the UK, it's pretty rare for a tick bite to turn into Lyme disease here. I was refused medication by two hospitals and a doctor's surgery because they didn't believe that I had it. Finally, after the third try at a hospital, I was given the medication I needed. They couldn't believe I had been turned away so many times.
I'm so passionate about trying to let as many people know about what to look out for and to fight for the medication if you feel there's a chance you've got it. Unfortunately, for people like yourself who hadn't managed to get the medication in time, know all too well what it can do. I wish you the best of luck in the future.
Wow.
I mean..... WOW!
Thank you for taking us with you. What an experience! And how wonderful to hear that the conservation efforts ARE working, and that the local human population is benefiting too.
Thank you.
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. This was such an incredible experience to watch the Gorillas interact with y’all. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.
The baby gorillas look so adorable! 🐵🦍
I love them 😭😭😭
10:36 I can see Kara wanting to mimic the Chimpanzee calls so bad, but having to suppress it;)
41:22 “Lets change that”. Lol
Watched 2 times and love this. I have watched all of your videos and LOVE them all. This one is my favorite of all time. Love you both❤
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. I've been in a dark place and probably won't be traveling much the next few years. I am so grateful that you are sharing these moments to remind me there's so much more to life and to focus on the simple things ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing! This has been a dream of mine since I read about Dian Fossey work when I was young. She truly had a passion for these beautiful beings! Thank you for not just sharing but making this trip for all of us to!
Kara, I feel exactly what you're feeling wow.I haven't cried in a long time of happiness
Everyone wake up Kara and Nate Saturday toons are on!!!!
One of the best videos I have ever seen you provide. I can't even believe you experienced in person.
I haven't seen you guys for ages and here you are in Uganda looking for Chimps and Gorillas. Absolutely fantastic. I have traveled the world a lot including Tiger safaris in India and wild life in Africa. At one stage I was at the Kilimanjaro base camp and it was not far to view Gorillas from there but - no time. This is so great that you 2 are doing this. Best wishes from Australia.
