NGAMBA ISLAND EXECURSION- 1 DAY
Ngamba Island is a project as result of increasing pressure at the zoo(UWEC) in Entebbe that led to the formation of the Chimpanzees Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust (CSWCT), established in 1997.Ngamba island is home to orphaned chimps. It is located on Lake Victoria,. Chimpanzee viewing goes at specific time in the day. You will experience the habituation of these close cousins . It requires a day’s excursion from Entebbe.
Depending where you would like to start, will be picked from Kampala at your hotel and proceed to Entebbe. You will then be driven to the pier near the Uganda Wildlife Education Center(UWEC). After briefing by yourtour guides, you will be leaving for the island by motor boat on Lake Victoria at around 9.00am. The boat takes about 45 minutes or an hour depending the boat you take and ride to Ngamba Island, crossing the Equator en-route. On arrival at the island, home to orphanaged chimpanzees, you will be given a short introduction and briefing on the sanctuary. After which, it’s feeding time! It is interesting to watch the chimps interact with each other and with their keepers. In the relatively short amount of time you are there you will be able to see such different personalities amongst the group, with some whistling for food and others clapping. Obviously the best alternative would be to re-introduce these orphaned chimpanzees to the wild however this is not possible for a number of different reasons and the sanctuary is not bad for second best.
You will return to the mainland where you will meet your safari guide who will drive you to Entebbe Wildlife Education Centre or boatnical gardens depending on your choice.
