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

How to Enjoy The Jane Goodall Institute

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.

Jenni Prisk

Visiting Chimp Eden was a moving experience. Seeing the chimps who are recovering from their tortured lives being lovingly cared for in an open and safe environment is inspirational. Thank you for all you do, and for continuing Dr. Jane Goodall's legacy.

very interresting explainations of the way the chimp live . But one problem; to open the barrier at the entrance, it is very difficult to join somebody by phone (we have to wait 15 minutes that another guy came), and the same to go out
