Day 2

Chimpanzee Tracking In Rubondo Island

After breakfast, full day Chimpanzee Tracking in Rubondo Island National Park. The group of 16 chimpanzees who were originally rescued and introduced onto the island were raised in European zoos – their understanding of what a human is was not a good one.

Due to the unfortunate circumstances under which these chimps were kept, the last thing they wanted to do was spend time with people. This is why we have spent years rehabilitating the way they see us by showing them that we respect and admire them.
