Chimps begin to disperse into smaller, tighter family groups as the community spreads out to ensure ample food for all. An interesting time to see the dynamics of chimpanzee politics, because dispersal shows the strength of relationships.

A little more rain around and weather can be unpredictable, though it seldom spoils the fun. Still warm.

A lovely time. Small clusters of close-knit chimps forage and patrol their favourite areas, including the beach/forest edge. Walks to find the chimps can be longer sometimes but it's unpredictable.

The odd shower over the forest and sometimes dramatic storms over the lake. Sunny patches in between but can also be grey. Mostly warm.

All the magic of Greystoke from chimp trekking to sunset dhow trips and forest walks.

Chimpanzees can often be found in big groups but can be quite high in the forest taking advantage of an abundance of fruit in the upper slopes. Walking is easier but can be longer at times.

The start of dry season - warm days with sporadic showers but generally dry underfoot. July often brings dry, sunny days and pleasant temperatures.

Chimps follow the fruiting patterns, and the lower slopes are beginning to produce ripe fruit. Chimps can be heard hooting and screeching in the forest behind the camp. Trek times can be reduced as a result. The weather is perfect for enjoying the Lake and boats during the rest of the day.

Still dry. Still very warm, the lake is constantly appreciated for its cooling swims and breezes. Beach life is idyllic throughout this time.

Despite the odd shower, the chimps are still on the lower slopes, which is always good news. Chimps are therefore expected to still be within reasonable reach so trekking, while never easy, should not be too long. Make the most of the boat and relaxing in between.

The rain forest begins once again to live up to its name this month, so you may need your poncho. The sun does come out and sunsets are more vivid than ever.
