    baby apes are the cutest...so innocent...playful and curious...they want to be friends..especially the gorillas and baby orangutans..would love to spend a season working/caring with them...and especially meeting the people who seem so nice...

      Rwanda was an amazing experience and to see these animals in their natural world and also the conservation effort around them was a real privilege. Thanks for the comments.

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  9 месяцев назад

      Hi. Glad you enjoyed the video. I was using the Canon RF70-200 which is an f2.8 lens so very good for low light situations. I think the 400mm i took was a little over the top. The zoom lens was far more useful.

    I don’t get going into their territory, but if it provides a living for much needed jobs and helps preserve their habitats then I suppose it’s for good

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for the comment. Our guide was telling us that it's quite common to see the gorillas in the farm fields close to where people live and work. So i guess their territory is everywhere. We as humans need to learn how to co-exist with the wildlife around us.

    Thanks for sharing a fantastic experience. I am a professional studio musician but I consider the soundtrack in this video detracts from the peaceful context. Just my personal opinion. Cheers.

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  5 месяцев назад

      The gorilla trek can be many hours if the animals are deep in to the forest. Maybe only two hours if they are closer.

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  9 месяцев назад

      I don't know how much it will be as i'm not a tour operator. Just search online for quotes.

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  2 месяца назад +1

      It was around 3-4 hours. I've done both trekking in Uganda and Rwanda and it was the roughly the same amount of time. But it really does depend on where the gorillas are that will determine how long the trek will be. It's different for all groups every day. Hope that helps.

    Oh amazing how much cost this Tours?

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  3 месяца назад

      It's a lot of money for Rwanda. The Gorilla trek permit is $1500. For Uganda and Congo the permit is much cheaper.

    • @niwagabaimmam7457
      @niwagabaimmam7457 3 месяца назад +1

      Uganda is just 800USD in two national parks ie Bwindi Impenetrable national park and Mgahinga Gorilla N.p

    • @smallplanetpix
      @smallplanetpix  3 месяца назад

      I've done the Gorilla trek in Bwindi and it's just as good as Rwanda. Quite challenging in places but well worth it for the experience. Also, Uganda offers a wider safari experience than compared to Rwanda with game drives in Queen Elizabeth national park and Chimpanzee trekking in Kalinzu Central Forest Reserve.

      Hi. Yes the porters were tipped above the usual rate. They are an essential part in the overall experience and i fully recommend anyone who does this activity to hire a porter.

    If you really want to help the gorillas stop being self centered and leave a huge donation and DON'T hike out to where they are trying to get away from humans and development. Leave them alone. Send money.❤
