Fascinating and scary at the same time.

Scary with the Congolese government touting it as a tourist destination in the middle of a civil war that’s been going 12 years.

Hi Mike .. thanks for letting us see this – amazing video .. I wonder how near the gorillas are should there be an actual eruptive explosion … camera lenses can ‘see’ for miles now, I know …

Your comment is pertinent .. I hope these won’t become an extinct species. – Hilary

Hi Mike,

This is awesome footage. Although it would be interesting to see, the war that you mentioned would make me quite hesitant to go there.

I agree. I wouldn’t be interested in going anywhere where there is a war.
