Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel and head to the lakeside. Choose between a speedboat or an executive canoe to reach Ngamba Island, home to orphaned and rescued chimpanzees.
Upon arrival, enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee and a detailed briefing from an English-speaking guide. Take a guided nature walk around the island, which is also a bird paradise with about 150 species, including African grey parrots, African Fish Eagles, and hornbills.
Witness the prime activity of the island: the feeding of the chimps. At a fee, participate in the feeding and feed the chimp of your choice or watch the activity on a raised platform. Observe the chimps as they interact, with mothers gathering food for their little ones and crew males fighting for food.
The island is also home to other mammals like spot-necked otters, fruit bats, marsh mongoose, genet cats, and reptiles like Nile monitor lizards. Recently, there has been an increase in sightings of the nocturnal marsh/water mongoose, known for their dark brown and shaggy coats.
