Ngamba Island

Ngamba Island is a small island in Lake Victoria, Uganda, with a total size of only 100 acres, 98 of which are rain wooded. It is 23 kilometers from Entebbe town and is well-known for its Chimpanzee's sanctuary. Because of the Chimpanzee refuge, the island is known as "Chimp Island." The chimps of Ngamba are tolerant of humans and do not scamper off. As a result, they can be observed up close, especially during feeding times.

The Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is a safe haven for orphaned chimps rescued from various parts of Uganda who are unable to return to the wild. The chimps are free to roam the island and live their lives away from danger. Visitors to Ngamba Island in Lake Victoria may watch the twice-daily feeding sessions and tour the island, which is home to over 120 kinds of birds and 50,000 fruit bats, otters, and monitor lizards. The island is 404.605 square meters in size and is mostly forested, with some grassland patches. Overnight accommodations are available in a tented camp, which is great for those who wish to learn more about the sanctuary's goals and spend more time with the chimps.
