Happy International Primate Day! ๐ If you love spotting monkeys and apes in the wild, East Africa is absolute paradise.
Lake Manyaraโs vervet and blue monkey troops thrive year-round because underground springs keep the groundwater forest lush and packed with food, even during the dry season when other parks quiet down. Over in Gombe, Jane Goodallโs research made history when she discovered chimps making and using tools. While people always talk about our shared DNA, that single tool-using discovery is what actually redefined the line between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. โจ
If primate sightings are something you want built into your dream safari, comment CALL, and one of our expert planners will help you set up the perfect itinerary. ๐ฒ
