This was a good but not great tour. First, the drive was much longer than stated, at 4 1/2 hours each way, meaning 9 hours of driving round trip. And while the roads themselves are generally decent, there are constant speed bumps, meaning taking a nap is not possible.
Second, my main reason for going was for the chimpanzee sanctuary and Stephen, the driver/guide, took me there around noon. That's close to when the chimps are fed lunch, so the chimps were not out to be seen. I only was able to see one chimp.
But on the positive side, I was able to see a huge number of rhinos, including a trio of them that was followed by a hippo like the hippo was part of the family. That was fun to watch. I also saw a large number of lions and a lot of other animals.
