Activities
Life on the island
View any or both of the two day-time chimpanzee feedings (11.00am & 2.30pm) from the visitors platform, and enjoy unlimited use of the other island facilities.

Optional activities include opportunities to observe the islands 154 recorded bird species; viewing of a local fishing village; a sunset cruise (to be arranged in advance); or simply relax on your tent’s private deck enjoying a memorable African sunset as thousands of bats make their daily flight around the island.
During your stay on Ngamba, as well as our camp staff, a CSWCT staff member will be resident on the island and available to provide information and answer any questions on chimpanzees and the project.

Forest walks with the chimpanzees
The Forest Walk experience offers you an opportunity to join a group of infant chimpanzees on a one
hour walk through their forest habitat, either in the late afternoon or early morning.

Guests may spend one, or more nights at the camp, and have the option to enjoy a forest walk or partake in the Caregiver Programme with the orphaned chimps at an additional cost. These two activities have special health clearance requirements and need to be booked well in advance.
