Chimpanzee Trekking and Bigodi swamp walk

On day two your driver guide will transfer you to the park headquarters for a chimpanzee trekking briefing. After the briefing, you will be grouped into 6 people allocated to a chimpanzee family to trek and a park guide who will lead you into the forest during the trekking. Chimpanzee trekking is an interesting activity that starts at 8:00 am and takes about 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Once the chimpanzees are found you will be able to spend one hour with them in their natural habitat which gives you an opportunity to learn about their behaviors, and habits, watch them feed, fight, play, hunt, mate, take photos and record the moments. After the one hour with the chimpanzees, you will trek back to the park headquarters where you will meet your driver guide and transfer back to the lodge for lunch.
After lunch, you will go for an interesting Bigodi swamp walk to different bird species and other plants. After the swamp walk, you will go back to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
