This morning  we went out with a guide to look for chimpanzees. It was not successful. Later we went out again and  met a group of five chimpanzees, three adults, a todler and a month old baby. They came down to us from a nearby tree and we spent over an hour with them. They quite casually went about doing their daily chores, like, grooming ,playing, eating leaves , and sleeping.  They are almost human in their behaviour. We got some good video footage and still photos.

This afternoon we went about doing essential chores like washing clothes and enjoying a few drinks with other visitors at a nearby camp. Tonight we are the only people in this camp as two Canadians left this morning.

Most visitors to the area come by boat or fly in to a an airstrip about 10 km away.

Our satelllite phone, an iridium 9505. has the facility to receive sms's. You are welcome to send us a sms by going onto the Iridium Website and then type in a message with the number 881631552444. We will not be able to respond though.
