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
i have tea with my family in the late
afternoon
then i go for a walk with my dog
