About this listen

Uganda isn’t usually the first place people imagine when they think about Africa.

For us, it became one of the most humbling experiences of our travels.

In this episode of Explorations All Over, we journey into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a mountain gorilla trek — an experience that demanded patience, effort, and a willingness to give up control. There were no guarantees we would see anything at all.

The climb was steep. The forest was dense. And the rules were simple: move slowly, speak softly, and remember whose world we were entering.

What followed wasn’t a safari moment or a wildlife spectacle. It was something quieter — a brief encounter spent at eye level with another living being, and the realization that we were not the only ones doing the watching.

If this episode stays with you, I’d love to hear from you. You can connect with Explorations All Over on Facebook and Instagram, or leave a comment wherever you listen.
