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.

This is an excellen initiative. Our children were very happy and excited. I hope that the place can be marketed more. It was also nice to note our resemblance to Chimpanzees,

It was an awesome, yet sad, experience. To hear the stories of these amazing animals and not feel deeply for them is nearly impossible. Martin, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable and seems fully passionate about his work. It was inspiring to see his engagement with the chimps and with the group. The operation seems well-run, but it looks as if more funding is always welcome.
