Gorilla Trekking by far the highlight of the trip. We trekked up the mountain in Rwanda for about an hour, getting stung by stinging nettle, a plant that really does sting. Finally when we got to the gorillas we were inches away from 14 of them. They really didn't pay to much attention to us. They were busy eating. We got to stay with them for an hour. It was amazing! They seemed so tame.
