Western Area Peninsula National Park (T) by Michael Novins

In November 2018, I spent two days at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary on the outskirts of Freetown, which works to rescue and rehabilitate chimpanzees orphaned by the illegal pet trade or the slaughter of their mothers for bushmeat. I made my arrangement with Bimbola Carrol at VSL Travel.
