Some activities at Ngamba Island.
During your visit you will experience: chimpanzee viewing & feeding, shopping at the island gift shop, bird watching, experiencing other wildlife encounters, swimming on the equator, visiting a neighboring fishing village or simply sunbathing and relaxing.
Our day visitors can also ‘get their hands dirty’ by being part of the feeding team. This is an opportunity for you to feed the chimpanzees from the platform. On top of being able to feed your favorite chimp, you will also watch as the chimps excitedly try and gain your attention to receive food (this activity is subject to management exclusion and policies).
Elsewhere in Uganda, you can encounter Chimpanzees in their natural habitats including Kibale Forest National Park, Budongo Forest, and Kyambura Gorge which form part of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
