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.

The experience was exceptional. We enjoyed walking to the different two camps and was surprised about the knowledge of the tour guide. She knew each Chimp, and also engaged with us with regards to all questions or queries. She explained to us the different types of behavior, and it was very interesting to know why the one family had a different behavior to the other. We will defenately visit again. The only downfall was that there is no restaurant, other than the one at the Guest farm closeby. We would have loved to have a sit down meal on the premisis watching the Chimps.

Great experience but I believe that a separate type of tour should be created for smaller kids that's both educational and keeps them occupied.
