How should we relate to beings who look into mirrors and see themselves as individuals, who mourn companions and may die of grief, who have a consciousness of 'self?' Don't they deserve to be treated with the same sort of consideration we accord to other highly sensitive beings: ourselves?' - Dr. Jane Goodall

Chimpanzees and Gorillas Imagine walking slowly and quietly through the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi when your guide beckons you forward and there, just in front of you, is one of the most endangered species on earth, the magnificent Mountain Gorilla. This is probably the most exciting safari experience you will ever have. The forest is thick, your quarry scarce, you are on foot and suddenly you are surrounded by the gorillas who seem as curious about you as you are about them. It is estimated that only 650 of these magnificent cousins of ours still exist and they are all in the mountainous region of Uganda, and the surrounding countries of Rwanda and the Congo. Our itinerary will take you to the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi in the beautiful country of Uganda, the most comfortable and reliable destination for viewing these magnificent creatures. Chimpanzees in the wild are on the brink of extinction. At the turn of the last century, chimpanzees were living in 25 countries across West and Central Africa numbering around one million. Today their total number has dwindled to less than 200,000, with significant populations found in only four countries. In the Jane Goodall Institute's Sanctuary program orphan chimpanzees live together in a natural environment in the hands of experienced and loving caregivers. They receive proper nutrition and learn to live in social groups that are necessary to their survival and essential for their development and well-being. Your stay on Ngamba gives you the opportunity to see these remarkable creatures and to support the conservations efforts. You will enjoy watching day time chimpanzee feedings from the visitors platform along the edge of the sanctuary fence, plus the bedtime and early morning feeding routines at the overnight chimpanzee holding facility. You also have unlimited use of the other island facilities and activities such as bird-watching, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing and enjoying your surroundings. A highlight of your stay is the option of a guided chimpanzee forest walk with some of the young chimps into the forest area with a CSWCT staff member.
