a day in the life of

what is a typical day like for you when

you’re in africa

dr goodall well when i am in gombe i set

up at a quarter to seven

for breakfast i usually have a piece of

bread and a cup of coffee

then i go and find the chimps

[Music]

what happens when you find the chimps

i spend the day following them in the

forest

it can be very tiring following the

chimps crawling through the jungle

but it’s always very interesting as i

never know where i’m going to go

do you stop for lunch oh

i usually don’t bother with lunch when

i’m out

what’s the hardest part of the day

i’m used to living in the jungle now

that has never been difficult for me

actually

but in the day i normally feel most

tired around three o’clock

when do you start following the chimps

and go back home

when it gets dark out the chimps choose

a place to rest

the young ones play up in the branches

the sunset is lovely after a hot day

when i know they are settling down i

head for home

how do you spend your evenings

hmm the gombe evening is magical

it’s dark by 7 30 p.m i jump into

lake tangi and neca

the clear fresh water makes all the

tiredness go away

that i cook something like beans onions

and tomatoes over an open fire

and how about in the uk i guess your day

must be a bit different

just a bit yes in

bournemouth where i have a home

breakfast is at nine

this is great because i can get three

hours of work done first

i always have many letters to write i

try to reply to them all

especially ones from children in the

morning in the afternoon i write replies

to all the letters

afternoon
