We had arranged to visit Ngamba and stay overnight in the tented accomodation. The rooms are very comfortable and quite spacious, though I would probably have preferred a double bed over two singles. The bathroom is cunningly set up - a little tight on space but very attractively laid out. There is no electricity in the rooms - the shower... more

The best place I have ever been to! This place is amazing. The rooms/tents are comfortable but that's not why you come here. Its all about the chimps. They are truly amazing and this is the best place in the world to get up close and personal with them. If you go to this lodge you have to do the... more

We stayed overnight at the Ngamba Island Tented Camp run by Wild Frontiers and took part in the forest walk. This was an AMAZING experience! There were 9 chimps on the walk and while they are called juveniles, they are not as little as you might think! My husband carried Bili who does a careful assessment of each visitor to... more

I personally think it's better to stay overnight than to just go for the day. The accomodations are really nice and the island is wonderful. The food is great and... more

We stayed over night in one of their tents which is spacious and clean with an suite tiolet and shower. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was home cooked. The chimps are great and if you stay overnight you will see all the feeding sessions and the chimps put to bed. The walk is very expensive... more

I highly recommend a visit (or overnight stay at Ngamba Island) if you will be in Uganda. The chimp sanctuary, for orphaned and rescued chimps, is amazing! You will have the opportunity to watch them being fed, talk to the care givers, and purchase inexpensive items made by local crafts people. If possible, plan on staying overnight in one of... more
