Unlike chimpanzee trekking, chimpanzee habituation enables you to spend more time with the chimpanzees in their natural habitat. The time you will take on your search for the chimpanzees will depend on their location, and meeting a habituated chimpanzee family requires you not to exceed 4 people in a group. As you search for them, you will have encounters with other primates like the olive baboons, l’hoest monkeys, blue monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys and many more.
When you get to the natural habitat of the chimpanzees, you will have a guide to tell you information about the chimpanzees, and you are free to ask questions depending on your observations. You will be able to see how the chimpanzees associate with humans, how they feed and play. Capturing moments on camera will be the order of the day, and after gathering all the information you need, you will head back to the lodge and have some rest.
