Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Ngamba sanctuary is home to 49 orphaned and rescued chimpanzees from around the country; from the illegal pet and bush meat trade. Despite their initial trauma, chimps living at Ngamba have a safe and semi-natural environment in which to recover and eventually thrive over their long lives of up to 60 years.

The sanctuary was founded in 1998 and covers 95 acres of land with natural forest where the chimps roam and forage daily. Their diet is supplemented multiple times per day much to the delight of visiting tourists who are able to observe and take part in the feeding from a viewing platform. The chimps also have the freedom to stay in the forest at night or return to nighttime enclosures where they can build nests and receive an evening meal. A Visit to the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary offers an unforgettable experience in the Pearl of Africa.

We arrange both half and full day trips and our boats leave at either 9:00am or 12:45pm.
