Visit Primates in Nyungwe National Park
Of the large mammals, primates are the most visible, with 13 recorded species. Of particular interest are the Angola colobus - delightfully acrobatic arboreal monkeys which move in troops of several hundred - and an estimated 500 chimpanzees. Other primates one might encounter are blue monkey, silver monkey, velvet monkey, olive baboon, grey-cheeked mangabey and red-tailed monkey.
