Chimpanzee Safari Uganda Tour
CHIMPS ON NGAMBA ISLAND 3 DAYS
Day 1 TRANSFER TO ENTEBBE L. VICTORIA
Our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Kampala or Entebbe and transfer you to UWEC ( Uganda Wildlife Education Centre ) formerly the zoo for an excursion. After you will be briefed about your boat trip to Ngamba Island. The boat takes about 45 minutes – 1 hour across to Ngamba Island in Mukono District, You will cross the Equator En route as the guide gives explanation on how they got to know that it is the Equator. On arrival at the island, home to 39 chimpanzees, you will be given a short introduction and briefing about the sanctuary. After which, its feeding time! It is fascinating to watch the chimps interact with each other and while their keeper throw food to them. As you watch the chimpanzees feeding, you will be able to identify the various behaviors amongst the group, with some whistling for food, others clapping while others will be fighting to collect as more food as their hands can grab. Dinner and overnight at G and C Camps Ngamba Island. (FB)
Day 2 CHIMPANZEE WALK NGAMBA ISLAND
For those who have had the required set of medical requirements, a forest walk with the chimps is an irreplaceable experience! The Forest Walk experience offers you a chance to join a group of infant chimpanzees on an hour’s walk through their forest habitat, either in the late afternoon or very early morning. A maximum of four visitors are allowed in the forest for each walk, always accompanied by trained CSWCT staff for your safety and enjoyment. You will be in the company of several chimpanzees ranging in age where you will have direct contact with them and therefore be given very specific instructions regarding clothing, glasses, cameras, and behaviour when signing up for this unique opportunity as these chimpanzees are used to human contact they will play-bite, climb on you, grab your glasses, and pull your hair or even just your hand. And that’s where the fun just begins! This opportunity is only a short-term one and indeed a privilege whilst our juvenile group of chimpanzees is manageable with the general public. Depending upon how manageable the chimps are, there is no guarantee on how long this activity will go on for, and it may be curtailed any time.
