It's not easy to retain a foothold on slippy wet vines on a steep slope when your heart is hammering and your legs are shaking, but the alternative is to roll down the Virunga Massif quite a long way before coming to rest in the fertile mud of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Having established who was boss, he returned to a supine position and resumed munching on nettles. When we finally came face to face with him, after thrashing through a forest of nettles with a machete, Giraneza sprang to his feet, big as a house, and our bodies responded perfectly: our knees turned to water, and we collapsed to the ground in a craven crouch, silently praying for our lives. He can be prickly with visitors, and we'd been given strict instructions for what to do if he didn't want to be visited.Īs it turned out, we didn't need the instructions. It took an expensive flight, and an even more expensive permit, to visit him. Being reclusive, he lives in the bush up a very steep mountain, eating a healthy vegetarian diet. If you mess with his loved ones, he's capable of crushing your skull with his bare hands, but he's essentially peaceable, so he'll likely only scare the crap out of you.
He's a sex bomb - 200 kg of solid muscle, gorgeous silver in his hair - but a family guy, with several wives and babies who are his top priority. Giraneza is a dude, and I mean total dude, from Rwanda.
