Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is an island sanctuary in Uganda, dedicated to the care of orphaned eastern chimpanzees that have been rescued by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Many of the chimpanzees were rescued from poachers and would be unlikely to survive reintroduction to the wild. The sanctuary is accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.
