Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, Entebbe, Day 13

Chimpanzees are under threat constantly in Africa due to over population, deforestation, witchcraft and bush meat trade.  To help preserve and understand these animals better the Island was given to mistreated chimps to provide them with a better life.    On the island visitor are welcomed and educated on the effects the pressures of man have on the chimpanzee population in Africa.   We visit the island via a local boat, a get to learn about what the island is used for and the progress that is being made to try and help wild chimps.  The tour ends with a feeding of the 44 resident chimps. They scream, hoot and plead for food all to our enjoyment.

Chain of Shame was worn by Lisa.

Tip of the day: Even though chimpanzees may occasionally throw things at you they are definitely not as accurate shot.
