Description
In episode 12, we're in Kibale Forest, agog at the sight of chimpanzees. (You'll never guess where they are!) Listen in as 'Papa' Les Lloyd and I compare notes about our unexpected primate visitors. Then, I discuss my recent trip to Kenya and preview some of the upcoming episodes: How many modes of public transport do I take on the long journey between Kampala, Uganda, and Mombasa, Kenya?  What are my personal highlights from our first episodes? Who's up next? A sneak peek into conversations with experts on great apes (Ian Redmond OBE), parrots (World Parrot Trust), turtles (Diani Turtle Watch), monkeys (Colobus Conservation in Diani), and butterflies and moths (Mikhail Ochse, Pollichia).
