Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Safari

Half Day An hour's journey by speedboat from Kampala, Ngamba is a densely forested 40 hectare island, situated on the equator in Lake Victoria, 23 kilometers from Entebbe. The island provides a safe, nearly natural environment for chimps rescued from captivity. Chimps are the closest animals to man, with whom they share more than 98.6% of their genes. A raised viewing platform along the edge of the Sanctuary gives you a chance to observe and photograph the primates in their natural environment from only a few metres away. Other animals you may see from Ngamba include hippos and otters – as well as over 120 bird species. Traditional fishermen are a picturesque part of lake life. Overnight stay at Ngamba can be arranged in a luxury tented camp, offering more time for chimpanzee viewing. This trip can be offered for clients flying into/out of Entebbe or as a pre/post safari ex Kampala and Jinja.
