MAHALE - Chimpanzee Experience
Early breakfast drive to Mahale Park for Chimpanzee trekking. You will be briefed how to behave and all hygiene issues before meeting the chimps. You will need also to wear mask all the time.
Chimp watching. To get to the only habituated group of chimps, the M group, one climbs up through the mountain forest on a network of simple cleared paths to get into touch with the chimps and when one does the experience is extraordinary to the point of being bizarre.
The chimpanzees go on with their lives- walking, sleeping, fighting politicking eating etc as if they are not there. They take virtually no notice of visitors this is perfect, because you never feel like you are intruding.
After spending the strictly controlled 1 hour with chimps, you return to your accommodation facility to wash off the sweat, have delicious lunch and spend the rest of the leisure; or perhaps one of the number of the activities.
