Chimpanzee, Kibale, Uganda (7/2024)

A few days after gorilla trekking we trekked for chimpanzees. The two experiences were complete opposite experiences. The gorillas were calm and majestic. The chimpanzees were chaotic, loud and a lot of fun. As they moved through the forest some would just drop from trees and land right near us shouting. 

We got great looks of a group of over 20 both in the tree and an on the ground.

It was great to see them relaxed an grooming one another and totally ignoring us.

This last shot reminded me of a pose from the Planet of the Apes as they got ready to take over.
