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.

There's less pressure to complete a checklist. There's more room to notice the small stuff: how a herd...

A Hadzabe Tribe Visit Tanzania gets sold on almost every Lake Eyasi itinerary, a dawn hunt, the click sounds of the language, arrows and honey. What most travellers never learn is how much of what they saw was arranged in advance for them to see. This blog explains who the...
