Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, located on Lake Victoria, offers a unique opportunity to observe chimpanzees in a semi-wild environment. Visits typically involve boat trips to the island, where you can view chimpanzee feeding sessions from a raised platform. Accessibility can be limited for those with mobility issues due to the boat transfer and island terrain. While solo visits are possible, guided tours often enhance the experience with informative insights. There are typically no seasonal restrictions, but weather conditions can affect boat schedules. Costs vary depending on the tour package but generally include transportation, park fees, and viewing access, with prices ranging from $100 to $300 USD. A typical visit lasts around half a day, including travel time to and from the mainland. Booking in advance is highly recommended.
