The Chimpanzee Sanctuary is situated in a Private Wildlife Reserve, close to the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
South Africa
South Africa is a utopia for wildlife lovers. Not only is it home to the magnificent big 5 species, it also boasts a huge variety of mammals, marine life, birds and plant life, not to mention an impressive diversity of ecosystems. There is no better place to experience all of these natural pleasures than the world-renowned Kruger National Park.
Your Free Time
The nearby Kruger National Park is one of the world’s greatest wildlife-spotting locations and you will have plenty of time to enjoy the stunning scenery and, if you’re lucky, catch sight of the African Big 5, as you take part in a free weekend tour and Kruger safari, included in the cost of this project.
You will have your Saturday afternoons and Sundays as free time to explore the area and try some of the fantastic optional excursions that this project offers you, such as:
- Quad biking and mountain biking tours
- River rafting
- Scenic panorama tours and open vehicle safaris
- Hot air ballooning, Helicopter and microlight flights
- Horseback trails
- Endangered species and mammal rehabilitation tours, snake parks and cheetah projects
Please Note: These excursions can easily be arranged with your project coordinator during your time in South Africa, at your own extra cost. If you do not wish to take part in any excursions you are more than welcome to simply sit back and relax around the camp.
Tours after your Project
Being in South Africa means that you are close to Johannesburg, which is a major transport hub for overland tours. We have a number of different tours to choose from which, for example, could take you up into Botswana, through Zambia and Zimbabwe to the mighty Victoria falls and even take you all the way to Nairobi: We have tours that last from 7 days to 56. Please contact us to enquire about these options and we will be happy to send you further details and help you explore Africa in a safe and adventurous way.
Getting There
You will need to arrange your flights to arrive into Nelspruit Airport, via Johannesburg. Please ensure you travel on a flight arriving into Nelspruit at 12.00 or 18.00. Upon arrival, you will be met by our project representatives and taken approximately 30 minutes by road to your project to begin your orientation.
Upon your departure, please arrange flights to depart form Nelspruit Airport.
