Photo by @andywcoleman // When trekking in #Uganda looking for gorillas, finding them can be a bit of work. There are trackers in the field who locate the gorillas in the morning, but if there is no food around, the gorillas move on. Fortunately, our #gorilla family found a nice, open field of nettles and seemed settled in for the day. At first, we were staring into the sun, a terrible place for photographs. Our guides soon moved us into a better position and we were surrounded by gorillas. This female and youngster were hidden most of the morning, but came out from the thick brush to survey the area.
