I am a bit late with my blogging... I wanted to blog about our wonderful holiday at the South Coast of Natal, and I will still do that, but...!!!
Today we had a wonderful experience at the Chimp Eden, which is located only 10 km from our home. We booked a tour yesterday and was lucky because the director, Eugene Cussons, would be our tour guide. We is now well known all over the world due to the Animal Planet programs about his rehabilitation efforts for neglected and abused chimps. The program has been seen by more than 1 billion people!
We were also a small group of visitors and had a lot of opportunities to talk to him and ask questions. He actually showed how to communicate with the chimps, and I had a nice contact with young chimp who wanted to play with me! He followed me on his side of the fence, and as soon as I stopped he stopped too, and we had eye-contact. I made the sounds Eugene taught us, inviting to playful activity, and it really worked! Absolutely amazing....
