Amazing Gorilla Encounter! Nick's Interaction with a Mountain Gorilla from the Nshongi Family

Our five hour hike through the mountains of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda was rewarded with an amazing and unforgettable hour of interaction with the Nshongi Gorilla Family. As we were about to leave for the long trek home, one of the gorillas came over to say a special goodbye to Nick...

I fucking loved it when he like patted your shoulder. Kinda like saying "See ya around bro".

When he tapped his arm "alright dude take it easy im out"

So awesome to see this. I love gorillas. They are very intelligent, beautiful and majestic creatures. That is such an amazing experience. An interaction that is rarely seen. Up close and personal. Great video.

Well done for staying still, quiet and calm.

Crucial.

What a breathtaking experience! Such a lucky man!

That was cute. He swiped you as he went by. That’s what I call an opportunity of a lifetime. That’s awesome.

My dream to experience a gorilla up close and personal. Beautiful moment. Lucky man Nick.

What a honor to interact with this beautiful animal

I just watched a video about chimps that said the "tag, you're it" gesture means "sorry". I know the video is of a gorilla but I feel like that final gesture definitely meant something important.

Oh, that's funny! He makes sure to walk a foot away before he hits him. Basically a love tap. Hehe

Mutual respect, it's beautiful :-)

What a once in a life time experience.

Gorilla: "Tag you're it"

Nick got a knock for his cheek in trying to make eye contact... 😂 Gorilla The Boss!! ❤️

[Tivaarg]

"aww maaan you a cutie, gimme a kiss... no? aw fine man have it you're way, I'm out -pats arm-"

[mikorara]

Gentle animals. Gorillas and orangutans are my favorite.

[ruesydni]

She hit the guy towards the end of the video like "I was just seeing if you were ok and you ignored me you're a jerk!" 🤣🤣🤣

Everybody speaking about the bumping at the shoulder... But no one really noted that the gorilla was whispering deep secrets about the true nature of the universes in his ears!
