23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Penetrable Stare
Deep in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, we tracked mountain gorillas for hours, an experience that felt surreal with only about 300 left here. Uganda’s eco tourism offers vital support for their protection, and reaching Bwindi on rough, muddy roads made the encounter even more memorable.
