Intrepid Journeys - Rwanda (Rhys Darby)

He's very big.

– Rhys Darby on encountering a silverback gorilla

We trekked through the bush for about three hours hacking our way with machetes and with every step the adrenaline and the excitement mounted. Finally through a clearing I saw high up in a tree my first wild gorilla. There he was sitting there staring at me. He was the 'lookout' for the group and had known we were coming for about an hour. I just froze and this overwhelming feeling of fear mixed with surprise came over me.
