Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park

The thought of lugging 20kg of camera gear deep in to the central African forest in search of gorillas doesn’t really appeal to most. Thankfully, there’s plenty of people on hand to help carry equipment.

If it wasn’t for that, i don’t think i would have made it to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat. For this trip i decided to take the Canon R5 and the R6 along with the RF70-200 f/2.8 and the goliath RF400 f/2.8.

Transporting that thing at the best of times isn’t straight forward, so lugging it through a rainforest, in search of habituated animals in their natural habitat, is an even greater challenge.

Thankfully, everything went well and the lens made it there and back in one piece.

But without it i would not have been able to capture the photos and videos featured in this video. Sometimes the extra effort is worth it especially for such a ‘once in a lifetime’ moment as trekking through Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park.

The 6K 360 video footage was created using the Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition.
