Welcome

This four-week primate studies field school is based in Rwanda, one of Central East Africa's most progressive countries and home to a high diversity of monkeys and apes, including the famed mountain gorilla.  Students will go on adventure treks to observe gorilla families and golden monkeys on the slopes of the extinct Virunga volcanoes; follow groups of chimpanzees, black and white colobus and guenon monkeys in an afro-alpine jungle; and travel on Safari to watch wildlife and study troops of baboons and vervet monkeys in a savanna setting.
