3 DAYS CHIMPS VIEWING ON NGAMBA ISLAND

Day 1:
You will receive briefing and finalize arrangements for visiting the island at Entebbe after your arrival at the airport. Boat from Entebbe pier to Ngamba Island depending on time of arrival.
On arrival at the Island, home to 39 chimpanzees, you will be given a short introduction and briefing on the sanctuary like why it was established and the back ground as well. After which, its feeding time! It is interesting to watch the chimps interact with each other and with their keepers. In the relatively short amount of time you are there you will be able to see such different personalities amongst the group, with some whistling for food and others clapping. Obviously the ideal option would be to re-introduce these orphaned chimpanzees to the wild however this is not possible for a number of different reasons and the sanctuary is not bad for second best.
Overnight at Ngamba Island camp (FB).

Day 2:
After breakfast start for Forest Walk and chimp viewing, for these who have had the required set of medical inoculations, a forest walk with the chimps is a unique experience. The playful chimps climb on you, pull your hair, or just walk along holding your hand! (Clients must have specific up to date vaccinations for this activity, which is restricted to three people at any one time, and should ask for further details before booking). Overnight ion Ngamba Island Camp (FB).
