Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden

About

The Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden opened in 2006 as the first chimpanzee sanctuary in South Africa. The sanctuary works to rescue chimps from the bush-meat trade, illegal pet market, or circuses, beach resorts, and nightclubs where they were used for entertainment. Making good use of the 1,000 hectare Umhloti Nature Reserve, these animals are provided a safe home in a semi-wild environment. On a guided tour, visitors will see these three groups of chimps going about their business from viewpoints overlooking the forest and “foraging areas’, learn each animal’s story, and discover more about man’s endangered closest relative.
