NGAMBA ISLAND CHIMPANZEE SANCTUARY

An island home in Lake Victoria for chimpanzees

Surrounded by the peaceful waters of Lake Victoria, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is home to orphaned chimpanzees rescued from across East Africa. Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust (Chimpanzee Trust), an NGO, is responsible for all aspects of the sanctuary. Deeply committed to and involved in both field conservation and community education, we work closely with the Ugandan government and wildlife authorities

The island sanctuary of Ngamba offers an array of options that will satisfy any tourist. There are half- and full-day tours, three-day tours and a special honeymoon package, as well as a stay at Ngamba Island Tented Camp. You will receive personal attention from an internationally trained staff and observe the chimpanzee residents from a raised viewing platform that provides a full view of their behavior and interactions.
