5) Where can I see them?

Many primate centers that house chimpanzees have public tours, such as Yerkes Regional Primate Center in Atlanta. Also, visit the Chimpanzoo website for a list of zoos that house primates. Further afield, you can see chimps in the wild as a tourist at Gombe National Park and Mahale Mountains National Park (both in Tanzania), Kibale National Park and Budongo Forest (Uganda), and several other parks and reserves across Africa.
