Details of Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary

The sanctuary’s most popular tour is done as either a half-day or full-day tour, and introduces visitors to the work being done on the island as well as giving them access to a chimpanzee feeding that can be observed from a raised deck. Food and drink are also available on the island.

For those wanting to spend more time with the chimpanzees, overnights can be arranged.
