Great guide talk about the chimps and the sanctuary. No interaction with the chimps as they are not handled at all but lovely to see them finding a safe and happy home after their previous lifes.

If you have watched Chimpanzee Eden on Animal Planet, then it's like stepping into the show itself. The drive up is great, as it's 2 - 3 km, off the main road between Nelspruit and Barberton.

What a wonderful sanctuary in South Africa's own backyard!

The staff are very efficient and helpful and want to share as much as they can regarding the sanctuary and the... More

Having watched NIna, a chimp from Chimp Eden who had been rescued giving birth on a camera placed in her room and having watched the rescue of many abused chimps being rescued from various parts of Africa on Chimp Eden on Animal Planet, a TV programme, my husband and I decided to visit this sanctuary. We were not disappointed. Our... More
