A Primate Haven in Eastern Africa

The Tana River Primate Reserve is a hidden gem in the heart of Kenya that boasts an impressive variety of primates. From the rare Tana River red colobus to the elusive grey-cheeked mangabey, this reserve offers a glimpse into the world of these intelligent and unique creatures. The reserve is also home to a variety of bird species, including the endemic Clarke's weaver. Adding to the charm of the reserve is the Tana River, which offers scenic boat rides and opportunities for fishing. As I observed these primates in their natural habitat, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of conservation efforts to safeguard their future.
