The mountain gorillas in Rwanda

Families of gorillas live at 3000m on the Virunga volcano in Rwanda
to reach them we had a full escort of trackers,guides and porters
This mature male of 250 kilos is our first contact
and expresses his dominance...
It's almost a smile...from this female
while the baby kept eating
another female came
a rare pair of twins
A friendly look at us!
he shows us his foot ...
and meditates ...
before leaving us.
Rwanda is beautiful, green, clean and full of hills
with people who love dancing
Street dancer
Infore dancers
colorful shops...
in Kigali
shopping, shopping
Women carry their babies on their back
This woman just laid down a 70 kilos potatoes bag she carried over 1 km.!
They carry heavy bags on their head
like charcoal
or bananas....
or on a bicycle
Kids watch street dancing ...
love hamburgers and...

are attracted by tourists like us.
While parents work in tea plantation....
they smile at us....

Add caption
Eucapyptus are grown everywhere for construction and charcoal
a chameleon ...
and a colobus monkey seemed sad to see us leaving Rwanda
