In July 2010, "60 Minutes" and Lara Logan traveled to Tanzania and Uganda to profile world-renowned chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall. As you can see, this chimp in a Ugandan sanctuary was very curious to check out our camera gear.

Goodall arrived in Tanzania in 1960, at age 26. Fifty years later, chimpanzees are still her passion. Nowadays, she travels the world to raise money and awareness to stop the extinction of the species.

While in Uganda, a chimpanzee decided that 60 Minutes producer Max McClellan would make a fine mode of transportation. (Editor's Note: The Jane Goodall Institute does not endorse handling or interfering with wild chimpanzees. The chimps being handled in this broadcast are orphans who live at a rehabilitation center.)

It should be noted that chimpanzees can catch humans' infectious diseases. All of the chimps at the sanctuary we visited had been vaccinated against a range of infectious diseases. To get this close to them, we had to be vaccinated as well

A chimpanzee also took a keen interest in 60 Minutes photographer Ian Robbie.

Lara Logan, interviewing Goodall in the Gombe Forest, Tanzania. The only way to get there was by boat, traveling across Lake Tanganyika, the longest lake in the world.

Getting to the locations was no easy feat, as associate producer Reuben Heyman-Kantor explained: from New York, he flew to Dubai and then on to Dar es Salaam. To get close to the Gombe Forest, they flew to Kigoma and then traveled by boat across Lake Tanganyika.
