Overnight on Ngamba Island - Tour code: ST2DNI

Enhance the experience of Ngamba with an overnight stay in one of the Island's 4 double safari tents. Enjoy the calm evening sounds of the Lake and calls of the chimpanzees in the forest.

Forest Walks may be available for an additional USD100pp. Advance bookings essential as special vaccination and other health requirements must be met.

Accommodation used:

Ngamba Island Tented Camp

These are four spacious East African 'meru' style tents, each on a wooden deck, offering uninterrupted views of lake Victoria and the main land beyond. The tents have en suite hot water showers, toilet & basin, solar lighting and comfortable furnishings, including twin beds with duvets. In line with both our company policy and CSWCT (the island Chimpanzee management organisation), this camp is eco-friendly. By prior arrangement for larger groups, we can organise additional tented accommodation on the island.

The dining area is under thatch with roll-down canvas walls and netting; meals may also be served out on the 'sun deck' overlooking the lake. There is a small curio shop on the island, as well as a visitor information center-the proceeds go toward the upkeep and welfare of the chimpanzees on the island, local community projects, as well as education projects in rural areas of Uganda where poaching is still a threat.

When on the island, apart from viewing the chimpanzees, activities include the option of visiting neighboring fishing communities, bird-watching, or possibly taking a kayak around the island. Or simply relax and enjoy watching the chimps at play!
