What's this trip about?

    The Chimpanzees living in Mahale National Park have been habituated by Japanese researchers from Kyoto University.  They have a slightly different habituation approach than their more famous neighbor - Jane Goodall at Gombe National Park.  Their efforts offer you excellent rewards: close encounters with chimps and the opportunity to sit quietly and observe chimpanzee family life as it unfolds around you. The Mahale Mountains host the largest population of wild chimpanzees left on the planet.
