AFRICA PRIMATE ADVENTURES

From the Agile mangabey to the Zanzibar colobus, there are more than 100 primate species in Africa not including the 70 plus lemur species in Madagascar. Our closest relatives are simply amazing and spending quality time observing them whilst on safari, is a highlight of any visit to Africa.

Top of the weight and size scale is, of course, the gorilla whilst the smallest is Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, which is so tiny it weighs a mere 30 grams!

This continent has an amazing variety of destinations which are perfect for monkey and ape adventures!

World Class Adventures has access to the best tour operators and will tailor the perfect holiday just for you.

ALL SHAPES AND SIZES

• Gorillas - All gorilla species are endangered, as are many other primates throughout Africa and the world.  The voyage of discovering and sitting amidst these gentle giants is life-changing.

• Chimpanzees bring back memories of playing with an over-exuberant and enthusiastic young cousin  -  they can be exceptionally ‘naughty’ in a human way.  They can be found in various habitats but trekking with Jane Goodall trained rangers in Budongo Forest is always a highlight.

• Bonobos, very similar in appearance to the chimpanzees, live in the DRC in remote areas making them one of the most difficult primates to see and the groups are matriarchal rather than patriarchal.

• Lemurs - The decline in numbers of primates is very much in evidence with all lemur species, who are enchanting and so very cute.  Some of the best places to find lemurs in Madagascar (where all lemurs evolved) are in the spiny forests in the south-east,

• Bale Mountain Monkeys - Ethiopia also has a unique primate – the Bale Mountain Monkey, which was only ‘discovered’ in 1904

• Gelada Baboons, which are found in Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains, prefer the higher altitudes between and their long chocolate brown hair helps to keep them warm.
