Incredibly
beautiful
rainforest,
rich
in
wildlife!
Professional,
interesting
and
friendly
rangers
for
the
most
part.
I
did
a
chimpanzee
trek
in
the
morning
(8
am
to
12
pm)
and
a
night
walk
in
search
of
bushbabies
in
the
evening
(7
pm
to
9
pm).
Both
were
great
and
rewarding!
On
the
downside,
I
found
that
too
many
groups
of
people
were
chasing
the
chimpanzees
at
the
same
time
(around
forty
people
in
the
morning),
sometimes
with
no
regard
for
the
comfort
or
respect
of
the
chimpanzees...
Between
one
or
two
guides
shouting
in
the
forest
and
jostling
visitors,
and
some
ill-mannered
tourists
taking
off
their
masks
to
take
selfies
with
the
primates
in
defiance
of
the
sanitary
measures
imposed
to
protect
them,
I
sometimes
felt
uncomfortable,
for
myself,
for
the
other
members
of
my
small
group
and
for
the
chimpanzees...
Perhaps
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
think
about
lowering
the
ceiling
on
the
number
of
simultaneous
trekkers?
And
to
better
educate
guides
and
trekkers
about
the
importance
of
maintaining
calm
and
wearing
masks
when
faced
with
the
chimps?
These
animals
are
so
precious
and
the
setting
so
magical,
it
would
be
a
shame
to
turn
it
into
a
circus...
