Ep. 25 Crossing the line - An unexpected visitor. Kibale Forest, Uganda

What happens when the tranquility of Kibale Forest is broken by the boisterous screams of chimpanzees? In Episode 25, a routine afternoon walk along the elephant trench at Sunbird Hill takes an unusual turn when I uncover an unexpected visitor. This week I ask: Are you allowed to enter the National Parks on your own? Why is wearing a face mask non-negotiable around wild chimpanzees (and gorillas)? Which are the latest primates to embrace the rewilding? How many bats were living in my house before I called time on them? (You may laugh!)
