Ellen went on her dream vacation to Rwanda, where she’s building a campus for mountain gorillas. Watch as she and Portia hike the jungle to meet these incredible creatures.
When Ellen said "My whole life I've dreamed of doing this and I did it". Not only did I hear you, I felt you...thank you for being a real example of possibilities.
Having someone like Portia in her life is the most beautiful thing.. She supports her dreams and helped her to make it come true..she stays on her side for morethan a decade and they still look happy and contended to be on each others side..they are wonderful human being... Truly my inspiration to atleast try being kind to one another.. Ellen & Portia, may God give you a long life to live and good health...😀
Thank you for showing Africa in such a beautiful, caring and special way. I specialize in trips to Africa and have been lucky to travel there, live there and experience the incredible array of beauty that the continent has. It must be protected!
@@oyotxpycclkcpulbxpjdp7301 You don't have to feel sorry for her. She was crying from happiness, not sadness. Dian Fossey was her childhood heroine, and to see the gorillas in person and sit at Dian's desk was a dream come true for her.
Nancy Ramirez She is cause I am for my mom again eight I have said before I always tell myself that is not a saying that to make make someone happy for someone for like home then I did a whole can sit down and talk with everyone I do not mean
Ellen, I hope you know just how many people you've touched with your many acts of kindness. This takes it to a whole other level. God bless you and your beautiful wife Portia.
I can't understand how anyone could dislike this beautiful footage! Thank you, Ellen, for sharing these beautiful moments with the world. Your incredibly kind, compassionate and so giving to others! Truly inspiring! :)
Uncle Mo Like I do I have a smile on my face sometimes there’s not a time though sometimes for me if I have a smile or not is my where I go I still have a smile my face that was her mood I am in amazing thing ever happened to me is that a gift for ever having to me I’ve actually feel something inside I know what it is now if I go outside I don’t throw nothing
She makes it so much fun, we forget how hard she's working. It was soul satisfying to see her realize the start of her dream. I know she will work tirelessly to protect these amazing primates and make it fun too. They may not know who their angels are, but we do. Ellen, you are an inspiration.
Oh Ellen, you and Portia are just beautiful, and you deserve this all, and I’m so happy for you that you have been able to live one of your dreams. I cried when she gave this to you for your birthday and I’m crying again seeing it come together!
So much to learn about Ellen, every single day I try to be a better person and always respect others and she’s got a lot to do in that. It’s a very positive change. Thanks Ellen :)
I watched this like more than 10 times already, and everytime it’s up to when Ellen cries, i couldnt get used to, like i had to cover my eyes every single time😢♥️
Thank you for giving so generously to this world and setting an example to others. You’ve overcome great trials and have turned that into a beautiful gift to the world. Thank you, Ellen.
When I see someone cry I can't help myself but cry as well. Ellen, u should visit Kevin and his lion sanctuary in SA. ♥ He deserves to be a guest at your show. Beautiful souls. ♥
Ellen has such a rare beautiful heart! I have so much respect for her. ❤❤❤ I would be in my glory if I was there. This video makes me so incredibly happy!!!
This is so beautiful, Ellen. I had no idea being so close to the babies was ok, as soon as the little one came out I was thinking Mum can’t be far behind. Diane Fossey would be so proud, we all are. Your heart is one of the kindest ones out there and I hope your kindness continues to inspire millions more.❤️
Oh the tearssss!!! Ellen has such a huge heart and such an incredible wife that helped make all of this possible! What a beautiful trip. I can't wait to see all the good things that are to come!
Seeing someone that gives so much for others, so happy and starting to make your own dream a reality is lovely! Such a beautiful video, Ellen you’re incredible.
I am just one person and Ellen may never see this. I want to thank you Ellen for sharing this. This touched my heart so deeply that I am crying so hard!! I could not imagine how beyond amazing it would be to be there and be next to those beautiful gorillas.
Ohh myy gosh! This video was soo inspiring 💕...when ellen cried I couldn't help but cried too...and when she said "my whole I have dreamed about it and I did it"...I felt it from inside!!!
Thank you ellen for respecting the animals' space and doing what you could (as in so much) for conservation efforts(?) 😭❤ glad you also got good responses and glad you've had fun too, congrats on your dream come true!! 💙💙
Omg she make me miss my country omg Ellen you are my favorite person in the world 🌎 she is so humble and believe in her more than anybody else and she is such good person
You're putting in a foundation to honor Dian Fossey and her work??!!!! Bless you!!!! I just watched several other videos about this, and learned that both the start up of the wildlife foundation and the campus were ideas and gifts to you from Portia. What absolutely wonderful gifts! Truly a loving spouse! You both rock!
Ellen.... I will never get to meet you or have this opportunity but I do my bit for everyone animal I come across. I rescue dogs and I take care of any injured wildlife that needs my help.... I am so proud of you and your wife. Maybe one day XX
She is the most serious about it like its her life's passion. It was amazing that she was simply so calm her body language changed. I am glad you got to do it and live it ✌️. If someone is desperate for some passion from within deep soul from the very beginning, it means it was the thing one was meant to contribute on in this life. And OMG I realized mine!
THANK YOU ELLEN 💝🌈💖 This is deeply, deeply meaningful. Gorillas are so rare, and what you and Portia have done for preserving them through education is enormous!! I'm sure Diane is utterly delighted knowing her legacy lives on 🐵🐒🌿💚🍀🤗
I love video so much, it’s full of pure love and joy. You can see the pure love that Ellen and Portia have for each other. It makes me heart melt and seeingb the gorilla’s in Rwanda just makes me scream, why would anyone want to hurt these precious animals? 😍 I can never look at Ellen crying because for some reason, she makes me cry as well! 😭
How blessed you are. My dream too. Diane also my hero. Read G in the M when i was very young. Profound. Portia is so supportive of your dreams. Amazing love.
As I started to watch and a few seconds in I was in tears to see these AMAZING animals. I been teaching my daughter (8 years old now) how amazing wild life and US (human) have made so many of them almost instinct. We cry together in sadness but your video turned our tears of sadness to tears of hope thank you @ellendegeneres for your amazing work.
the moment.. i saw Ellen crying ... make's me cry even harder
i need to know why too
Diane Fosse is her childhood hero.
..........and then the phone rang
Yeah, me, too. I cried when she cried.
Why did she cry?
When Ellen said "My whole life I've dreamed of doing this and I did it". Not only did I hear you, I felt you...thank you for being a real example of possibilities.
@Drew Vanheistel What a sad life you must have.
