Get a chance to get your hands dirty by being part of the feeding team. This is an occasion for you to feed the chimpanzees from the platform.
On top of being suitable to feed your favorite chimp, you will also watch as the chimps excitedly try and gain your attention to accept food (this is done through a guidance program by the sanctuary authorities)
