We stayed overnight at Ngamba so that we could take part in the Forest Walk experience. We booked through World Primate Safaris in Brighton who organised it all for us as an add on to our holiday. I have done a separate review of the Ngamba island experience itself but this is just for the overnight stay. The tented accommodation... More

We stayed here for one night in July. The tents were spacious and comfortable with twin beds and a large balcony and chairs overlooking the lake.

Although the hotel is another "business" than the chimpanzee sanctuary, it is intimately linked, and that makes it so special.
