Photography Tips
Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale requires ISO 6400+ and the fastest glass you have. A 70–200 mm f/2.8 is essential; 400 mm is useful when chimps are high in the canopy. In Bigodi Swamp use waterproof bag covers and a monopod for stability on narrow paths. Great Blue Turaco perches prominently — use 400 mm for tight portraits.
