Plot

This documentary presents an intimate look at the silverback Kamaya and his family and features a newborn baby gorilla, brave researchers, forest elephants, buffalos and the last remaining wild coastline in the African tropics.

In the remote rainforests of Gabon, primate researcher Martha Robbins and her team have achieved an extraordinary feat. They have gained the trust of a group of wild, elusive Western Lowland Gorillas. Shy by nature, the wild gorillas normally avoid close human contact - until now. In 'Gorillas Close Up" we transport viewers to Western Lowland Gorilla territory, inside one of Africa's last remaining tropical wildernesses.—natgeotv
