Elephants vs Gorillas

"- So, I'm going to Rwanda this thursday.
- Have you started with the malaria pills?
- Only on the day before....
- Oh, you're taking Malarone...
- Yes...
- Guess what I've decided to do?
- You've decided to stay in the hotel because it will be rainy season and there's nothing else to do?
- NO..... I'm going Gorilla trekking!!!
- You WHAT?!?!?!?
- Oh don't give me that look...
- Oh, no.... it's totally reasonable... To voluntarily go into the jungle, in Rwanda, to do Gorilla trekking! Even when it's me saying it out loud, it still sounds pretty bad! Why would you do that? What's missing in your life to motivate you to go and look for gorillas?
- Hey... you did elephant trekking!
- You were the one who told me that in Thailand I could ride an elephant...
- And you did it....
- But that's the most touristic thing you can do!!!! And it's not like I went into the jungle! It was a path for tourists!!
- Oh oh... tourists... touristic activities are so overrated! I seriously need this...
- How can you "need" to do gorilla trekking? Well, actually, I'm sure you need it... otherwise you wouldn't do it...
- I'll use a lot of repellent...
- And a long sleeved shirt... and a hat... and long thick trousers... and boots...
- Yes... that as well...
- Oh well.... Good luck... don't get lost, take a fully charged cellphone with you... and take a lot of pictures... remember: if you come back without pictures, it never happened!"
