Ngamba Chimpanzee Island Sanctuary 3D/2N

You can get close in the wild to our closest relatives – the Chimpanzees on a Chimpanzee tracking activity either in Kibale National Park or Budongo Forest reserve. However, if you want a closer and more intimate look, want to know a lot more about these evolved primates and at the same time contribute to a conservation effort, a visit to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is in place.

A tropical island an hour’s boat ride from the Entebbe mainland, Ngamba is about 100 acres big.

Approximately 95% of the Island is chimpanzee habitat and 5% is set aside as an eco-friendly village, veterinary facility and eco-lodge facility for tourists. The Sanctuary is a safe haven for orphaned and rescued Chimpanzees. While the himpanzees are free to roam the tropical forests during the day, they are fed at designated times and they retire to the holding area at night.

You can visit Ngamba either on a ‘day trip’ or on an overnight stay. On your visit, you can observe the feeding sessions of the Chimpanzees and learn about these primates in general or hear stories about the individual personalities of the Chimpanzees resident here.

We recommend the overnight stay option (below). Enjoy a luxurious stay, learn about Chimpanzees and at the same time contribute to this noble conservation effort.
