We came to Uganda to film the 9th episode of Luke Gamble’s Vet Adventures. What a country! Totally undiscovered. If you want wildlife and feel that Kenya and Tanzania are overrun with tourists, then this is the place!

A video still from Adam's camera just before it was snatched out of his hands by a very curious chimpanzee…
…who managed to take a photo of himself before smashing the camera to pieces. One of the rangers offered the chimpanzee a banana in exchange and he fell for it, thankfully.
When filming with apes and monkeys its very important that you protect them from possible flu or colds that you can transmit to them.
