    About the Project

    Through decades of research and advocacy, Dr Jane Goodall has paved the way for chimpanzee conservation. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to carry forward her mission, championing the protection of chimpanzees and other great apes while safeguarding their delicate ecosystems.

    Chimp Eden is South Africa's first and only chimpanzee sanctuary and is run by the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa. Chimp Eden provides a haven for chimpanzees rescued from harrowing circumstances. Many of its residents bear scars from the bushmeat trade, human-wildlife conflicts, the illegal pet trade, and exploitation in entertainment venues. Rescued and relocated to Chimp Eden, these incredible primates underwent a period of recovery, learning to climb, forage, and build social connections with other chimps. 

    Due to the trauma many of the chimps experienced, they are unlikely to be released. Instead, the team, with the help of volunteers, pour their energy into providing the chimps with the best life possible and one that mirrors life in the wild. The chimps now thrive in large, naturalised enclosures and have formed troops with fellow rescues. Chimp Eden is open to visitors and works to inform the public about the harms of the illegal wildlife and exotic pet trade, the importance of protecting natural habitats and inspiring change to reverse chimpanzees' endangered status.

    As a volunteer at Chimp Eden, you'll play a vital role in supporting the chimpanzees' well-being. From preparing meals, crafting enrichment, assisting with construction, and observing and documenting chimpanzee behaviour and interactions, you'll help contribute to their physical and emotional rehabilitation. This experience goes beyond the daily tasks. It's about being part of a global effort to combat wildlife exploitation, learning about the intricacies of primate conservation, and immersing yourself in the beauty of South Africa's landscapes. Each day offers the chance to make a tangible difference, leaving a legacy of hope and compassion that resonates far beyond the sanctuary.

    Prior to Arrival

    • Most countries, including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and most EU nations, do not require a visa to enter South Africa and are granted entry for up to 90 days upon arrival. However, you will need at least two blank pages in your passport, which must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into the country.
    • You will need to fly into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP) on your project start date, where a project representative will meet you.

After lunch, you may participate in a construction and maintenance task or clean enclosures before witnessing the chimps' excitement as they settle in their night dens. You'll be involved in all aspects of chimpanzee care, joining the sanctuary staff in their daily routines and getting to know the chimps' unique personalities along the way!


    Days Off

    If volunteering for 12 nights, you’ll have 2 days off to explore some of the surrounding area. You'll have a morning game drive in Kruger National Park on one of these days, followed by an evening braai. The next day, a trip into the local town will be arranged to collect supplies, which you are free to join, although you may wish to relax at the sanctuary or arrange an excursion (at your own expense). With stunning nature reserves on your doorstep, there's a whole host of adventures that await you.

    On your last day of the project, you’ll be transferred back to the airport for your return flight home or to begin your onward travel plans.
