The Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary sits in the middle of Ugand's Lake Victoria, the world's second largest freshwater lake. It welcomes day visitors and overnight guests who are not only interested in the chimpanzee experience and supporting the island's conservation efforts, but anyone just looking for a little relaxation.
The sanctuary was started in 1997 by Chimpanzee Trust to act as a safe haven for orphaned chimpanzees. It is currently home to 48 chimpanzees who spend their days roaming the 98-acre island sanctuary. In addition to providing sanctuary for Uganda's wildlife, the Chimpanzee Trust is dedicated to educating local communities about conservation and helping to improve their livelihoods through a number of other outreach programs.
