The Jane Goodall Institute
Wildlife experiences and tours of sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees near Nelspruit in the Lowveld Legogote region.
Established in 2006 by the Jane Goodall Institute, Chimp Eden near Hazyview, White River and Nelspruit is the first and only chimpanzee sanctuary of its kind in South Africa. Our mission is the rescue and care of chimpanzees that have been orphaned, traded, abused or survived the bush meat trade.
The Jane Goodall Institute was founded in 1977 to continue her groundbreaking studies on chimpanzees. The Jane Goodall Institute is dedicated to raising awareness through education and eco-tourism. Understanding the lives and the plight of rescued chimpanzees is the best way to start the change.

First of all a big thank you for the main goal of the institute for taking care of the chimps taken from entertainment or any kind of abuse by such horrible humans! We found the chimps environment very clean as well as the toilet,the reception area and patio. Obviously we could perceive all efforts and years of study and dedication of Jane Goodhall! Our guides Martin was friendly and prepared and we strongly recommend this tour and visit of Chimps Eden near Neilspruit ZA to watch how similar we are compared to chimpanzee from which we can certainly say that we descend from... Thanks you for hosting us and for giving us the opportunity to learn more about chimps!

Visiting Jane Goodall's Chimpanzee Eden was a truly fascinating experience. It's was very exciting and rewarding to see the chimpanzees interacting with us and themselves and to learn more about them. It was almost magic. We also had an excellent guide which made the experience even more special. The park. is furthermore very well maintained. When visiting Mbombela / Nelspruit Chimpanzee Eden is not to be missed
