Je duwt een wirwar van lianen opzij, duwt je door het doolhof van gebladerte en dan zie je ze eindelijk. Tien of twaalf gorilla's zitten op een open plek in het bos, nog twee in een boom. Ze stoppen even met kauwen om je nonchalant te observeren. Een paar meter verderop zie je de grote zilverrug. Hij is twee keer zo groot als de jonge vrouwtjes en zit op massieve lendenen bladeren van takken te plukken. Hij is dichtbij genoeg om je blik vast te houden met zijn vloeibare bruine ogen. Iets oerachtigs, onverklaarbaars, verbindt jullie op dat moment. De rest van de wereld glijdt weg buiten deze zeldzame ontmoeting. Op deze meeslepende wildlife-expeditie kun je berggorilla's van dichtbij ontmoeten en ook een heleboel andere primaten observeren, waaronder chimpansees.
