In March of this year I embarked on a trip of a lifetime to Uganda, to do some chimpanzee, and gorilla trekking, and to see the numerous animals, and bird species. What spectacular wildlife, scenery, people, and above all animals; in particular the famed mountain gorilla. Mountain gorillas can only be found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. Only Rwanda, and Uganda are safe to travel to. The experience was overwhelming, not to mention very special. Something I will always cherish, and never forget. I was very blessed to have been able to take this trip. The animals that inhabit Uganda come from the savannah, forests, and mountains; a truly unique biodiversity.
