A DAY TRIP TO NGAMBA
ISLAND | CHIMPANZEE TRACKING SAFARI
Day 1
After a short briefing by your guide, you will be driven to
the shores of Lake Victoria to meet your 9.00am launch. The
boat takes about 45 minutes across to Ngamba Island, crossing
the Equator en-route. On arrival at the island, home to 39
chimpanzees, you will be given a short introduction and briefing
on the sanctuary. After which, it’s feeding time! It
is fascinating 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.
You will return to the mainland in the late afternoon where
you will meet your safari guide who will transfer you to your
hotel/Entebbe Airport to meet your flight back home.
