I was just about to sit down and tell you all about how we celebrated New Year’s Eve here at Greystoke Mahale with the latest group of truly wonderful guests we waved goodbye this morning. Yet before, I took a moment to look at their comments in our guest book… and what I found is so absolutely brilliant that I decided there are no better words for 2018’s first chapter:
I AM A CHIMPTREKKER
FOLLOWING KING MAKERS
USING THESE BUSH WACKERS
TO CUT PATHS FOR SPECTATORS
NOMADS THE CLAN
M GROUPS THE FAM
MAHALE “FIVING” OUR WAY TO
THE HEARTS OF FANS
OOO OOO AH AH
THAT IS THE CALL
DON’T FREAKING OUT
WHEN THESE CHIMPS COME CLOSER TO YA’LL
LED BY PRIMUS
DON’T GET IT TWISTED
THIS CAMP IS BETTER THAN ANY
GORILLA MISTED!
YOU FEELING FANCY
AND FANCY A HADSY WITH CHIMPANZEES
EVEN THOSE IN IN-FANCY ARE SWEETER THAN
TANZANIAN CANDIES!
OO AHS THE CALL
KARIBUNI TO YA’LL
KWAHERI MY FRIENDS
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO PASS ON THE BALL…
A huge thank you to the lovely Jenn and Brandon for these wonderful words, and to Kenneth for capturing this twisted little guy 
The New Year is no blank page anymore and a lot more memories are about to be created. We are looking forward with a lot of excitement to everything that is about to come. On behalf of the entire Greystoke family we are sending our very best wishes to all of you and hope you have a magical and peaceful New Year!
