 The sign at the ranger station. |
 Chambura Gorge. It's ten miles long. Can you see how steep the walls are? |
 Chambura Gorge. Perched on the very top of these trees in the gorge is where we saw the black-and- white columbus. |
 Our rangers. One was our guide and the other one was there to watch a hippo eat me! |
 Dawn deep in the gorge. You can kind of tell how dark it is there. Jeff wanted to take this picture to show how proud he was of his wife for making this strenuous hike! |
 Chimpanzees. What sucks is that I was taking these pictures against the sun. You can't see the chimps in these pictures! |
 Chimpanzees. Chimps are the noisiest of all wild animals. We often heard loud "wraaa" calls (warns of something unusual or disturbing). |
 Chimpanzees. They were also grooming each other. Why do they do this? Check out "Animal Facts" for the answer. |
 Chimpanzees. Chimps will mount organized hunts for red colobus and other species of monkeys. They are very skilled at doing this -- I saw a Discovery Channel special where they used heat sensors to track chimps as they conducted a hunt. They were ingenious hunters! |
 Chimpanzees. Chimps have an amazing amount of human behaviors. For example, they'll use leaves for napkins and punch a baboon in the stomach! While hiking in this gorge, we came across the largest and deepest mud footprints I've ever seen -- they were of a hippo! Gigantic! |
 Chimpanzees. I really wish these pictures were better. This was such a neat thing to see! |
 Here's a very small tree we used to cross the river. You literally have to use the branch of another tree to pull and then swing yourself over! |
 Back again across this tree. Our ranger said that a few weeks earlier, a German hiking with him fell into the river! And when he crossed back over later, he fell in again! |
 Here I am crossing back over the larger log. You have to concentrate so you don't fall and become crocodile food! |
