Africation 2016 - In 2015, my sister Laure was working in Africa and talked about a trip she took to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. She said that she, Nick and Alex were going to go back there at spring break the next year so they could see them.
Ever since seeing the 1988 movie Gorillas in the Mist I wanted to see the mountain gorillas. So on the spot we decided to go with them. We called the adventure “Africation”. It turned out to be an epic trip of adventure and discovery. We learned about people and places and the terrible not so long ago history of the Rwandan genocide and how the country recovered from it.
And you can’t go to Africa without a safari, so we extended to another week in Tanzania - visiting one of the wonders of the world, Ngorogoro crater, and topping it all off with a few days in Serengeti National Park.
There are several pages of pictures:
