    Chimpanzees are Great Apes. In fact all apes are great except gibbons. Sucks to be a gibbon.
    Today we woke up at 0430 to meet at 0500 to go Chimpanzee trekking. The terrain was steep and incredibly slippery. It was an amazing adventure, but it left us so exhausted that we ditched the afternoon canopy walk in favour of a tea experience and a lazy afternoon by the pool at the lodge.Read more
