Wild Whispers Africa runs this three-day chimpanzee trip starting and finishing on the Entebbe mainland, with the crossing to Ngamba Island made by boat through Mukono district. The island sits 23km out from the Lake Victoria shoreline at Entebbe, and its forest is home to about 41 rescued chimpanzees. Being a semi-wild island, it allows close contact with the chimpanzees, whether through the care-giving activity or the chimpanzee forest walk. Those walks let you watch the animals going about an ordinary day in the forest, feeding, grooming each other and playing.

Day-by-day itinerary
What the operator has planned, day by day, across 3 days.
-
Day 1
Entebbe to Ngamba Island by Boat
Your safari guide meets you for a briefing on the three-day Ngamba Island trip, after which you board the boat and set out across Lake Victoria for the island. If you land earlier than expected there is the option of a community walk to the neighbouring villages. Lunch is followed by chimpanzee tracking. Dinner and the night are at Ngamba Island camp.

Day 2
Ngamba Island Forest Walk
After breakfast you set out on the forest walk, for which the operator asks that you have your medical vaccinations in order. The walk puts you among the chimpanzees, and they will often pull at your clothes or hair, climb on you, shake your hand or hold on to you as you move through the forest, which makes it good ground for photographs. You return to your lodging for lunch and the afternoon is free, either at leisure or spent down at the lakeshore looking for birds, butterflies and insects. Dinner and the night are again at Ngamba Island camp.

Day 3
Transfer Back to the Mainland
You take breakfast before boarding the boat back to the Entebbe mainland. Your guide collects you at Entebbe and drives you to the airport for your departure flight. If you have time in Entebbe, the alternative is to visit the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre and the botanical gardens, which closes the three-day Ngamba Island tour.
