Surrounded by the peaceful waters of Lake Victoria, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is home to 52 orphaned and rescued chimpanzees. 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. We offer both day Trips (Half and Full day) and overnight at Ngamba Ecolodge to the sanctuary which provides an exceptional opportunity to closely observe these fascinating great apes in our unique setting.

Where We Work
Our Mission
To sustainably conserve Chimpanzees in their Natural habitats and provide captive care to those who cannot survive in the wild
Life for the chimpanzees at Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is one of healing, freedom, and care. Rescued from poaching and illegal trade, the chimps find safety in a semi-wild forest environment where they roam freely, form social bonds, and rediscover natural behaviors.
