      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 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.

    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).

    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?

    • @mattyoung99
      @mattyoung99 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @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.

    • @mattyoung99
      @mattyoung99 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @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.

    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.

    This is the most I’ve cried on a TH-cam video. I’ve loved mountain gorillas since I was a kid. I recall hearing that horrible number of 300 left when I was younger and it broke my heart. To hear and see how well things are going is so uplifting. I’m happy and jealous of your adventures 🥹🧡🖤🧡

    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. ❤

    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.

Your gratefulness for being able to experience these incredible creatures and your appreciation of the world you are exploring exudes through the screen and it is amazing. Nate's way of describing things makes me feel like I was there with you and Kara's genuine reactions to every experience and the appreciation she shows towards your guides and guards shows her incredible heart. Thank you for taking all of us on this adventure with you.
