Creator's Key Takeaways

we were at an elevation of about 6,000 ft we arrived at mahogany Springs Lodge for a three night stay

it was incredible to get so close to this gorilla family and we got really lucky because it wasn't a long track to find them

tourism helps to support this community and this is a great place to donate clothes and school items for kids

we had an amazing visit this was really a different world
