About The Film

Started in 1997 by Chimpanzee Trust, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is a safe haven for orphaned chimpanzees. It is currently home to 48 chimpanzees who spend their days roaming the 98-acre island sanctuary.

 

In addition to providing sanctuary for Uganda’s wildlife, Chimpanzee Trust is dedicated to educating local communities about conservation and helping to improve their livelihoods through a number of other outreach programs.

 

The sanctuary itself sits in the middle of Uganda’s Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest freshwater lake. It welcomes day visitors and overnight guests interested in the chimpanzee experience and supporting the island’s conservation efforts (or anyone just looking for a little relaxation).
