Planet of the Apes

Today we went to the Mefou Primate Sanctuary. It is about 30 minutes outside of Yaounde, but it takes and hour and a half to get there because it takes an hour to get out of Yaounde. 

We saw lots of really interesting primates. Here are some pictures.

The Primate Sanctuary is run by a non-profit from Britain and staffed by Cameroonians.

Which one is Sofia?

Mandrill - very aggressive ape 

Isn't he cute?

This is a mustache monkey.

Sofia was swinging on the fence, just like the monkeys.

Both of my monkeys!

He seems deep in thought.

An Albino Chimpanzee - he looked pretty cool!

Home again and enjoying our beautiful Hibiscus

We had a great time visiting the Mefou Primate Sanctuary.

Until next time.....
