Ngamba Island offers a magical and heartwarming experience where rescued chimpanzees thrive in a lush, serene sanctuary on Lake Victoria. It’s an inspiring place that truly reflects the power of conservation and compassion. Our guide, Karen, was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the chimpanzees but also about the rich history of Entebbe and Ngamba Island. Her insights added depth to the entire experience and made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommended for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful yet impactful adventure in Uganda.
