Nah, this was something I really wanted to do. It involved lots of paperwork, jabs, chest x-ray, tb test, money and travel!! I really, really wanted to do it, contacted a couple of travel agencies to no avail, then contacted Ngamba directly. They said I could do it but after doing all the above, I had to take some paperwork to I think it was Entebbe, which was impossible as we were travelling with a group, couldn’t make a detour for this. Also, I doubt if we would have been on the island at the right time for the chimp walk, so all in all very frustrating! I did manage to purchase 3 great t-shirts Jul – two say 98.7 per cent chimp! (or whatever the percentage is). So I can’t wait to go to Cameroon and hopefully be more “hands on” – I love these babies so much I need to make contact! I tried to communicate with a couple of the chimps by using chimp language, they stared at me intently, we were very connected but a guard told me to move out of the way and stop “bothering” them. But they weren’t bothered! They were intrigued…it made me sad and frustrated that he just thought I was another stupid “tourist” who was winding up the chimps. (Sigh…)

Btw Jul, did you see my image, “chimp think”? This was also taken at Ngamba, of one of the chimps with whom I made a connection…
