11 Days / 10 Nights Ultimate Uganda Safari: Rhinos, Chimps, Gorillas & Big Game
A Uganda gorilla trekking itinerary built around permit logistics, practical lodge access, and enough structure to make quoting easier for first-time primate travelers.

Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is a 100 acre rainforest island on Lake Victoria, about 27 kilometres southeast of Entebbe by boat. It is a refuge for more than 50 orphaned and rescued chimpanzees and a place to learn about our closest relatives while supporting their care.
Every chimpanzee here has been rescued, some from poachers and others after being sick or mistreated, and none can ever return to the wild. On Ngamba they roam the island forest freely, are fed twice a day and receive medical care from the sanctuary team.
The sanctuary is a project of the Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust, and visits can be arranged as a half day, a full day or a stay of up to three days. The crossing takes about 50 minutes each way by speedboat, or around 90 minutes by motorised canoe for a more leisurely journey across the lake.
The island is open all year. The dry months from June to August and December to February are best, as the rains from March to May can affect the lake crossing and some activities on the island.

The chimpanzees are fed twice a day, a lively chance to watch the group together as caregivers explain each animal’s story.

The journey is part of the experience: about 50 minutes by speedboat, or a slower 90 minute trip by motorised canoe across Africa’s largest lake.
