  CHIMPANZEES  
     
  Two species of chimpanzee occur in Africa. There is the Bonobo and the Common Chimpanzee Pan troglodytes (often shortened to Chimpanzee, and sometimes referred
to as the Robust Chimpanzee). The largest remaining populations occur in central Africa (Gabon, DR Congo and
Cameroon). About only 400 individuals, the population in Rwanda is an endangered one.
 
     
     
 
Early in the morning, around 6.00 am, after a two hours walk through the jungle, the chance to see the some of the apes hanging around in the trees and eating, is very high. It takes a lot of patience to observe them very well.
 
     
     
  But if they are some in the middle of the cool morning mist, shouting around like to the dawn of the human beeing, ist
an unforgetable experience.
