Volunteer
As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside knowledgeable staff to prepare chimp diets, cleaning animal enclosures, providing enrichment and behavioral observation.
Chimp Eden offers a unique opportunity to see chimpanzees in semi-wild enclosures. The chimps show normal social interaction and behavioral patterns despite their traumatic backgrounds.
Visit
The chimp tour guide talks about chimpanzees, the sanctuary, and introduces the individual chimps and their stories – from the safety of the viewing points.
Here, you can get up close with chimpanzees. They roam in large, outdoor enclosures where visitors can visit and watch at feeding times.
