Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary, Sierra Leone

Displayed:   times.

The Sanctuary is situated on a beautiful hill in Freetown, just past Barthurst Village. It is accessible by car and will only take about 30-40 mins from the centre of town. If you want to drive all the way up the camp then you need a 4x4 vehicle, otherwise you can drive to the bottom of the hill and walk the next 40 metres or so against the backdrop of beautiful scenery and birds "tweeting in the woods".

The Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary was set up in 1995, and is committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned and abandoned chimpanzees. The chimps enjoy a semi-wild life within the 100 acre reserve. The overall aim of the programme is to provide a home for confiscated and rescued chimps, while helping to stop the cruel and wasteful trade of the species - thus securing a future for the wild population.
