I WAS CHARGED BY A WILD SILVERBACK MOUNTAIN GORILLA!

CHALLENGE ASHA: Asha and the Wild Silverback Mountain Gorillas

*** IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE THE GORILLAS, SKIP TO 05:39 ***

There are only 880 mountain gorillas left in the world. Around 400 of them live in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. That's nearly half the world's population!

As part of a five week long African Adventure I spent the day trekking to find these this endangered animal.
The forest is dense, humid and exhausting work but the reward is more than worth it.
Spending time with the mountain gorillas was exhilarating, thrilling, and incredibly scary all at the same time.
Having the chance to observe them, they seemed so human, in fact, gorillas share 98% of our DNA. But more than that, from the look in their eyes it felt like they were thinking, or day dreaming.

This experience was truly life affirming. It's hard to really capture with words just how I felt. I hope the video does it justice.

A massive Thank You to the UWA (Uganda Wildlife Authority) for their dedication and commitment in helping to increase the population of the mountain gorillas.

The CHALLENGE ASHA series is all about conquering your fears and stepping out of your comfort zone. But remember, you don't have to be perfect first time! It's just an attempt, just the first step.
Continually pushing yourself to reach your dreams, no matter how small the goal will only lead you on the path of living a richer, fuller life.
Stop sitting around and day dreaming of big goals that sometimes seem overwhelming. Just take it, one bite at a time.

A year from today, you will be so glad you started.
