Ngamba Island Safari

An Ngamba Island Safari will take you to a beautifully forested island in Lake Victoria. The island is Uganda's newest sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees and chimpanzees rescued from zoos, circuses, and even the cooking pot!

Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary was established in 1998 in association with the Jane Goodall Trust. The Sanctuary provides a home to more than 30 chimpanzees. The chimps are now free to roam their island, with the exception of a small fenced-off section reserved for staff and visitors.

Ngamba Island offers them a playground of tangled vines and towering trees where they can live freely with no threat from the outside world. Because chimps don't like water, the lake provides a natural boundary.

An Ngamba Island Safari allows you to view the chimps at feeding time from a raised walkway that provides excellent photographic opportunities. A more exciting option is to take a guided walk within the chimp enclosure itself.
