The main tourist attraction of this National Park is of course the opportunity to track a wild chimpanzee community (M group) that has been habituated by Japanese researchers since 1965. The group currently consists of 53 chimps.

After tea we went out for a quick walk into the forest to look for red tailed monkeys, vervet monkeys and olive baboons. As red tailed monkeys are usually found in central and west Africa this was a first for us. We were certainly not disappointed and had some lovely clear views of 3 groups of red tailed monkeys throwing themselves from branch to branch and tree to tree, eager to see who we were.

Our first sighting of a red tailed monkey.
