As quoted from one passionate trekking visitor last year;
"Slowly we edged impossibly closer. If I wanted to, I could have reached out and touched a small gorilla who had paused his play just in front of me.
The largest of the gorilla family sat with his back against the trunk of a tree, watching stoically as the younger primates moved around him. Occasionally, he would reach up, scratch his head, and inspect his fingers before resting them at his side again".
