Before you go

Where can you see Planet of the Apes?

Across several parks

No single park in our data has all 3, so it takes more than one trip. Where each is easiest: chimpanzee in Kibale National Park (about 80%), gorilla in Volcanoes National Park (about 80%) and orangutan in Tanjung Puting National Park (about 80%), as the share of wildlife watchers who report it on a given day.

How do you complete Planet of the Apes on Wallace's Line?

Mark them as seen

Tick ✓ Seen on each animal's card, add your trips, or link your iNaturalist account. Your passport counts Planet of the Apes three ways: anywhere in the world, all in one park, and all in a single trip.
