Mandar Karlekar, Mountain Gorillas of The Virungas (Wildlife and Animal 2017)

4 Portraits from many images taken during one of the best hours of my life. These are The Mountain Gorillas of The Virungas. A species critically endangered and now isolated to a small part of our planet. These gorillas all reside in the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. The family I visited was the Amahoro family (Amahoro means peace). An incredible experience I will never forget.
