Amazing TR! I was planning to do this as well this summer so it was great to see it in action. I can't imagine a better itinerary than the one you did in that many days.

1) What lens did you use for gorillas? In the past I've used 70-200 pretty much exclusively.

2) Who said they are "more wild" there?

3) How was the tour company you used? I had a short conversation with them and they were quick to reply, but basically ignored my request and just sent a default itinerary.
