In the footage, it is possible to see a group of seven tourists and Volcanoes National Park rangers suddenly surprised by the arrival of a silver-backed male. One of the guides prefers to clear the way for the burly gorilla and step aside. The rest just silently observes the passing male in awe. But the show doesn’t end there! Immediately, a female named Lisanga appears on the scene, who clearly seeks the limelight. In the middle of the promenade, he even sits directly across from a tourist and elegantly poses for her. Most of those present will take away from their trip not only an unusual experience, but also breathtaking pictures.
Cameron Scott, who runs the local travel company Royal Ngala Safaris, recorded this unique encounter. It mediates various types of experience tours around the area. As part of the safety of similar safari trips, it is necessary to respect several rules. For example, visitors are strictly prohibited from taking water or food with them to meet the gorillas. They can only stay at a specific place for a limited time, one hour. It is also necessary to take into account complications. Some gorillas may not like their presence and can become very aggressive. In such a case, it is good to immediately lower your eyes and kneel down. Such behavior means recognition of authority.
In the Daily Mail article, Scott mainly thanked conservationists and park rangers. The national park was established in an effort to protect the highly endangered mountain gorilla, whose population has suffered mainly due to civil war and poaching.
