The trek takes you along forest trails surrounded by impressive trees, birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Your guide follows signs, calls, and movements in the canopy to help locate the chimpanzees. Once found, observe their social interactions, feeding habits, vocalisations, and movements while following the park’s viewing guidelines. After the trek, return to the lodge for lunch and enjoy a relaxing afternoon or optional nature walk.
