Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary | Go To Africa Safaris

Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is a unique place to visit on Lake Victoria, especially for travelers who want to spend time with chimpanzees while learning about their care and conservation. The sanctuary is located on Ngamba Island, a short boat ride from Entebbe, and provides a home for rescued chimpanzees that cannot be returned to the wild.

A visit to the island gives you an opportunity to watch the chimpanzees as they move through the forest, play, feed, and interact with one another. One of the most interesting parts of the experience is learning about the individual chimpanzees and the different circumstances that brought them to the sanctuary. The staff and guides also explain the work involved in caring for them and protecting their future.

Getting to Ngamba Island is part of the adventure. The journey across Lake Victoria gives you beautiful views of the water and surrounding islands, and once you arrive, the peaceful setting makes it easy to forget that you are not far from Entebbe. Depending on your schedule, you can visit for a day or stay longer on the island.

There is more to Ngamba Island than chimpanzees. The island and surrounding lake support a variety of bird species, and the boat trip itself can be an enjoyable part of the experience. Visitors can also learn more about the sanctuary’s conservation work and the importance of protecting chimpanzees and their natural habitats.

Ngamba Island is a convenient addition to a Uganda trip, particularly for travelers arriving through Entebbe. It can be combined with other nearby attractions such as Mabamba Swamp and Entebbe Botanical Gardens.
