Escape to Chimp Eden


GeoTagged, [S25.57562, W31.00397]

We finished the afternoon at the Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Eden. Basically they rescue chimps from all over the world and rehabilitate them into chimp culture. They were a blast! The babies were rolling over eachother and doing somersalts. Very cute. We heard all of their back stories (there are about 30 chimps there currently) and they were all pretty sad. Some had been chained up in front of clubs or restaurants for entertainment, some were put in circuses while others were accidently mistreated by owners keeping them as pets. They've all made awesome progress in their rehabilitation :)
