      Hi –

      At the end of a long day in the jungle in Gabon I was walking back to my camp in the jungle with the rest of my team. Then we suddenly noticed a family of gorillas going in the opposite direction to us, about 10 metres away, like they were just on the other side of the road. They were just as curious about us as we were about them. There was a little baby one peering through the leaves at us, and the huge male just stood there looking like King Kong. After a few minutes watching each other, they went off their way, and we went off our way. It was so cool! Both us and the gorillas just going about on our business, then bumping into each other, and then carrying on with what we were doing. That’s one of my favourite memories definitely!

      See you!
