The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary opened in 1993. The facility was initially established to receive and provide lifelong refuge to orphaned and abused chimpanzees from West and Central Africa. An initial group of three chimpanzee orphans were brought to the sanctuary from a facility in Bujumbura, Burundi in 1993. This group of chimpanzees needed to be evacuated due to the outbreak of civil war in Burundi.
This was followed in 1995 by another group of 9 adult chimpanzees, followed by another 10 in 1996. Over the last decade Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary has been compelled to keep accepting chimpanzees rescued from traumatic situations bringing the total number of chimpanzees in the Sanctuary to 42. At Sweetwaters Sanctuary chimpanzees are being carefully nursed back to health so they can enjoy the rest of their days in the safety of a vast natural enclosure.
The chimpanzees live in two large groups separated by the Ewaso Nyiro River. Your tented accommodation has a private veranda, perfect for relaxing and watching the wildlife of this fabulous game reserve and dinner is served. In the quaint original farmhouse close by.
