John and his friends joined an experienced wildlife guide on a two-week expedition through Uganda, on a mission to find and observe Mountain Gorillas. While taking pictures, they came upon a family of exactly that. Little did John know, he was about to experience an unreal encounter with a giant male Silverback gorilla. Instead of running away, the man froze, hunkered down, stared into the camera with a smile plastered across his face, and let the gorilla and his family know he and his friends posed no threat.
