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!

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.

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
