BUCKET LIST TRIP: Gorilla Trekking in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with Vivo Barefoot
Join me on a bucket list trip to Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of the mountain gorillas that live there. This has been something I wanted to do since I was tiny, so getting to be there was a very emotional experience for me.
Thank you to Vivo Barefoot for supporting this video. They have also provided me with a discount code, ROXY10, for any of you that would like to order a pair of barefoot shoes and get 10% off.

Beautiful video! I’m heading there in just 5 weeks time, I’m 69 and it’s a dream trip I’ve wanted to do for 45 years since seeing David Attenborough meeting Gorillas on “Life on Earth”. I’ve been training for the hiking in readiness! I can’t wait to go! I’m sure I’ll cry too, I felt a tear roll down my cheek watching you with the gorillas! Take care!

As a close neighbour of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, I feel honoured and so proud of you in that you were actually able to interact and get to learn more about our close relatives-the mountains gorillas.

Don’t worry. I’m a guy in my 40s and have a feeling I’m going to shed tears of joy when I see them on my gorilla trek. I fell in love with them thanks to my anthropology classes in college. I love all primates but I’m especially drawn to the gorilla.

@avivafurman5 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely love your shots! You are a superstar! The shoes are so good too!

@doug433 6 месяцев назад

The gorilla will live forever with you, it is now part of your soul as you are part of their's. Showing your own emotion talking about your experience with them allows us all to see how caring you are about them. Keep up the good work, a pleasure watching the videos.

@RoxytheZoologist 6 месяцев назад

They will live with me forever for sure! I’m pleased you enjoyed watching the video :)

Amazing footage. We are doing this trip in August. At 65 years old, I guess we should start conditioning for the trip. Purchased the shoes with your code. They look very easy to pack where space is limited on a trip like this. We made it to the top of the monastery in Petra last year which was 800 jagged steps, so hopefully we can manage the trekking through the mud with the shoes.

@RoxytheZoologist 5 месяцев назад

Awesome! Hope you enjoy your trip! They put people in different groups based on hike length, so you can always request for an easier one if you feel you need it :)

What an incredible trip and superb shots. That's some rain forest. At least it didn't appear too hot, but didn't like the look of all those flies or midges (hope they didn't bite). Just like with Attenborough, the gorillas looked pretty chilled and didn't mind you or eating all those leaves (I guess they must eat other stuff as well).

@RoxytheZoologist 6 месяцев назад

It was pretty humid but the heat was definitely manageable :) the gorillas were very relaxed and the rangers constantly monitor their behaviour and would end the 1 hour with the gorillas early if the gorillas were unhappy - their welfare would always come first.

@christopherkn917 Месяц назад

Awesome 👌

@PaulGibbings01 6 месяцев назад

I visited Bwindi in 1998, the first time for me seeing wild gorillas too. We didn't get the amazing views that you did, but it was still an incredible experience, and one I will always remember. However my thoughts are also with the victims of the attack in 1999 just a few months after my visit.

@alisonandguywildlifephotograph 4 месяца назад

Absolutely fantastic 10 out 10…David Attenborough should hand you his job when he retires. The filming ,your presentation,music,and editing is A1+. We are planning a trip to Bwindi for 2025 ..we have already got 2024 sorted with Tanzania in September. I saw you were using a 70-200 2.8.. what were your video settings?… so sharp !!! Also because my wife will do the video on her R3 … I will be doing photos on 1dx ii. Is a 24-70 2.8 too short? … I’ve got 100-400… but I’m worried about low light . Also got GoPro for really close stuff and it’s nice and light. We fell in love with the gorilla eyes they are like glass! Well done again!

Will go there in February, can’t wait! What’s the better lense choice for this - 24-105 or 100-400?

Me too, can't wait

@RoxytheZoologist 6 месяцев назад

Awesome! I shot all of the gorilla footage on a 70-200mm. Depends what sort of shots you want & in what terrain you have your encounter though.

@wykaye 2 месяца назад

@@RoxytheZoologistthanks for sharing the amazing footage!!! I am going to Rwanda for gorilla trekking next January and can’t wait! Is your 70-200 mm with f/2.8?

Other than the cringeworthy "hidden" shoe adverts you captured some nice footage.

@RoxytheZoologist 6 месяцев назад

It is not hidden: the video is clearly marked as including paid promotion to comply with RU-vid regulations, plus at 15 seconds it says "Video sponsored by Vivo Barefoot" (as well as being detailed in the video caption as well). I made it clear on all accounts this was a sponsored video - I am very lucky to have been able to work with Vivo on this, a brand I have worn for years since wanting to rehab my feet after multiple surgeries, so it is amazing they are now willing to support my work. Videos like these would not be possible without the support of sponsors for the majority of people financially, due to the time and resources required to access these places and film them.
