So… funny story. I got to the Kibale forest alright, to see the Kanyawara chimps. But I happen to have gotten sick… so quarantine for me again and no more chimps for the week 😭
Guess will have to work on that coding scheme!

A little quarantine time at camp before being able to enter the forest. The occasion to appreciate the non-chimp folks 😌❤️
Baboons, blue monkeys, black and white colobus… and a bushbuck 😏
