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 had an amazing tour of Chimpanzee Eden with the very knowledgeable and friendly Pat introducing the chimps to us. Their stories are heartbreaking and so it's truly wonderful to see them safe and living such great lives. Their habitats are brilliant and they all get to exhibit normal behaviours, although some have learned behaviours from humans in their past. My daughter and I decided to sponsor Jessica and Sampa, they are two very clever ladies! It felt a privilege to get to know them and spend some time just watching them. Highly recommend a visit!

It was very interesting to have the inside knowledge of the guardians/caretakers. The institute does a necessary job!

Great visit to Chimp Eden. Very interesting tour and it was really nice to meet the Chimpanzees. They are lucky to be with you, after all the hardships they went through
