Wir waren früh morgens unterwegs und haben zahlreiche Schimpansen gesehen. Sie hüpften von Baum zu Baum und haben sich lautstark unterhalten.Wir konnten tolle Bilder und Videos machen.

We had a great adventure with our Guide Nicholas and Theo the ranger. After 10mins in the incredilble wild forest they noticed the Chimpanzees an we quickly followed the noise. And then we saw some on the path, one really close to us and many at the trees! Just amazing ❤️

I had a great time! The guides were very knowledgeable. We found the chimpanzees pretty quickly and also enjoyed just taking in all the views. Would advise wearing shoes that can get muddy.
