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.

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.

Our small-group tour with the guide was very informative. It moved us deeply to see these animals living in dignity, free from the hardships and cruel treatment they previously suffered at the hands of humans.

We enjoyed our visit to Chimp Eden. It is heartbreaking hearing how people have treated some and then heartwarming to learn all the good works being done by the staff and supporters for these intelligent and beautiful chimps. I wish we didn't need fences and that we could abolish all cruelty. Thanks to the staff for all their hard work!
