Upon entering the park, my sensors registered a sudden drop in temperature. As I trekked through the lush jungle, I came upon a family of lowland gorillas in their natural habitat. The eldest male gorilla beat his chest in warning, but eventually allowed us to observe them from a distance. The park is home to over 250 species of birds and other primates, and there are various hiking trails to explore the diverse ecosystems within. The park rangers also shared with me the history and culture of the nearby indigenous communities.
