Trip highlights 

• Boat ride to the Island

This one-day trip takes you to explore Ngamba Island. The island is known to own different plants and tree species, wild water and forest bird species, and beautiful and unique reptile species such as snakes and lizards. You will have a great opportunity for a close viewing of rescued chimpanzees roaming around this Island. We leave for the Island early in the morning by boat so as not to miss the pre-arranged supplementary feeding times (11.00 am & 3.00 pm each day) that bring the chimpanzees to within meters of the raised walkway designed for easy viewing and provide excellent photographic opportunities. Return to your place of stay in the evening.

ABOUT NGAMBA ISLAND

1 Day Tour to Ngamba Island. it is part of the Koome group of islands located in Lake Victoria (which also includes Kiimi, Nsazi, Koome, Bulago, and Damba Islands). Ngamba Island is approximately 23 km southeast of Entebbe, which lies on the mainland at 0.06’S, 32.39’E. It consists of approximately 100 acres, of which 95 acres are forested and separated from the human camp by an electric fence. The northern part of the island is generally flat, rising gently to an altitude of approximately 3800 feet above sea level to the south. The island is largely forested with gaps of grassland covering approximately 10% of the island.

A trail system was cut just before the chimpanzees’ arrival in October 1998. Trails span from east to west and north to south creating 50 x 50m blocks. Ngamba Island provides an excellent secondary forest habitat for the chimpanzees and other wildlife species including fruit bats, spiders, fish eagles, otters, and monitor lizards.
