Ngamba Island is a small-forested island found in lake Victoria, which is the largest fresh water body in Africa. On this island there is a Chimpanzee Sanctuary where all rescued Chimpanzees are taken. Chimpanzees live in communities in most forests of Africa.
Many Animal traffickers are now targeting primates including chimpanzees and because of this, they are endangered and therefore need our protection and care. Due to the fact that you can never tell where a given chimp came from after Rescue, they cannot be taken back to their natural habitat but to Ngamba Island. Our Ngamba Island Boat Trip will take you to this island to study and appreciate how to conserve our closed cousins the Chimpanzees.
