The tourists have to go into the forest to see the chimps when they wake up and from there on, follow them in the forest and watch them throughout the day as they go about their lives. They are very mobile early in the day and you have to run to catch up with them as they go swinging through the forest canopies, as they search for food including hunting monkeys such as the Colobus that is a delicacy for them.
In the afternoon, they often come down from the canopies to escape the sun and relax on ground, and get to mate and groom each other They are thus less mobile in the afternoon and you get to watch them closely. At dusk, they will make nests and go to sleep, at which point you return from the experience and head to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
