January 2023. Eagerly looking forward to the “primate journey” in Uganda. A small club of friends and Ingrid. A beautiful green country and friendly people. Somewhat intimidated by the stories surrounding the infamous “trail walks” we, with the help of the local porters and guides, managed to maneuver our way smoothly and safely over tree roots, rivers and the dense foliage of the forest. The reward: a unique introduction to the socially interactive world of the great apes with whom we share more than 98% of our DNA. Unforgettable. Wonderful photo opportunities thanks to the efforts of Ingrid, the local guides and our mere 2% modified DNA. Accommodation and atmosphere as usual perfectly fine. 48-hour days would have been better to fully experience all of this. Tanzania already beckons in the distance.
