The Jane Goodall Institute
Wildlife experiences and tours of sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees near Nelspruit in the Lowveld Legogote region.
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.

Wonderful experience. Martin , our guide, had great knowledge about each individual chimp. He looked after us really well, making sure we were always safe and knew how not to upset the chimps. Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime.

A very nice experience well guided with very interesting details about the behavior of the Chimpanzees and their social interactions. Absolute recommendation to visit this sanctuary! Tour was almost 2h long and you can ,,adopt" a Chimpanzee to support the foundation.
