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 visited the Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Eden in June '25 during a week long safari trip to the Kruger and thoroughly enjoyed the visit, The work of these wonderful guardians is amazing and gave a real insight into the life of the chimpanzees. The chimps kept here have invariably been rescued from the cruelest and most inhospitable circumstances imaginable - their salvation has resulted in a safe, kind and natural environment in which they can live out their lives happily. Being around them also demonstrated their incredible similarity to ourselves and was very amusing. If you are nearby and want a wonderful experience whilst supporting a worthwhile cause I can highly recommend a visit.

Good morning, My friends and I had the most amazing time during the Chimpanzee Tour at Chimp Eden. We found the tour to be incredibly informative and enjoyable, we were actually in awe of how little we knew and how much we learned in such a short period of time. I am a major fan of your organisation and we will definitely be back, should we be passing by/in the area again. Thank you for the experience and for everything you do in the name of conservation, I am definitely a fan of Chimp Eden.
