dhow builders at work.
| Best
time
|
The chimps don't toam as far in the wet (February-June, November- mid December)
so may be easier to find; better picture opportunities in the dry (July-October
and late December).
| Accomodation
| One
hostel, 1 guest house and 2 camp sites, all self-catering.
| Note
| Strict
rules are in place to safeguard you and the chimps. Allow at least 2 days to see
them- this is not a zoo so there are no guarantees where, and when they'll be
each day.
