Dawn breaks over a carpet of emerald forest and fog clings to the ridgelines as your vehicle cuts across western Uganda toward Bwindi. The air tastes of wet earth; every trail sounds alive. Trackers and rangers map silent paths through thick undergrowth, where gorillas move like low clouds and rivers dare you with their sudden rushes.
