Join us on this exciting episode of the podcast as we discover the wonders of wildlife trekking from an experienced adventurer. This week our co-host Karin is joined by Michele, a 10Adventures community contributor and avid explorer who shares with us her incredible experiences trekking with gorillas, lemurs, and chimpanzees. From Lemur Island to the jungles of Uganda, and the Galápagos, Michele doesn’t shy away from the opportunity to interact with wildlife!
Tune in as Michele narrates the epic moments she came face to face with a silverback gorilla family in the Ugandan jungle and had curious lemurs on her shoulders in Madagascar. Learn more about what to expect from gorilla trekking and the habituation process that the primates undergo prior to trekker exposure. Packed with incredible stories, this episode will undoubtedly leave you eager to book a wildlife trekking adventure.
