Established in 2006 by the Jane Goodall Institute, Chimp Eden near Hazyview, White River and Nelspruit is the first and only chimpanzee sanctuary of its kind in South Africa. Our mission is the rescue and care of chimpanzees that have been orphaned, traded, abused or survived the bush meat trade.
The Jane Goodall Institute was founded in 1977 to continue her groundbreaking studies on chimpanzees. The Jane Goodall Institute is dedicated to raising awareness through education and eco-tourism. Understanding the lives and the plight of rescued chimpanzees is the best way to start the change.

We took our two grandchildren to Chimp Eden for a tour. They thoroughly enjoyed the very informative tour and the antics of the chimpanzees, and ended up each adopting their favourite.

Visiting Chimp Eden was a truly special highlight of our trip. The guided tour was incredibly empathetic and highly educational from start to finish. Our guide shared a wealth of knowledge about chimpanzee behavior and the tragic backstories of the rescues.What touched us the most was how beautifully the genuine love, passion, and deep sense of responsibility for these animals was communicated by the staff. You can truly feel that the well-being of the chimps is their absolute top priority.It is inspiring to see these chimpanzees getting a second chance at a peaceful life. I highly recommend visiting this sanctuary to support their vital conservation work!Danke!

A wonderful educational experience. Zach was so knowledgeable and his love for the chimps was evident in his interactions with them. The facility is top notch and well worth the visit. The chimps are well cared for and the work done to erase their horrible past experiences is most appreciated.
