While in Mutwanga we saw this Dore monkey sat in one of the trees.

It’s a habituated monkey, looked after by a Mama who lives in the house nearby. You are allowed to have a monkey as a pet as long as you ask permission from the Chef D’Environnement, and when we got back to Mutsora we sent our Conservateur Communicateur to talk to the Mama who looked after the monkey just to make sure she had the relevant permission.

It’s very easy to habituate a monkey, if you regularly leave food out for him then he will keep coming back, and eventually you will be able to feed him from your hand. He lives in the tree next to where the Mama lives and roams freely around this quartier of Mutwanga.
