Kinigi, Parc National des Volcans

Duncan was up early to find gorillas. I went for a walk from the lodge to the park visitors centre, which had some displays on the gorillas. The sun was out but the cloud was low, so I couldnt see any of the volcano peaks. Then it started raining so I returned to our room to alternately work through my swahili-for-beginners book and watch CNN news on TV. Ho hum.

Duncan returned about 5pm with scores of photos and some video of the gorillas. He went to see the Susa group, which is the largest group tourists are taken to see, and the furthest to walk. It seems there are fourteen groups of gorillas, under 24 hour surveillance, but only seven of them are human habituated for viewing.

Congrats to Duncan - he left the UK for Australia exactly one year ago today.
