THE CHIMPS OF THE SWEETWATERS CHIMPANZEE SANCTUARY This is not just a large cage holding a few chimps, but a 250 acre purpose built enclosure, split into several parts and divided in 2 by a river, where the chimps can live out the rest of their days in almost natural conditions (In fact there are no wild chimps in Kenya, and Ol-Pejeta would normally be a little too dry for chimps to live here.) Rescues The chimps have all been rescued from inappropriate' care, ranging from people trying to look after orphaned chimps who could not cope with their strength and size, to downright disgraceful instances where chimps had been chained up or locked in a cage not even small enough for them to lie down. When the chimps first arrive here they are placed in a holding pen for a few weeks to allow them to acclimatise to the local conditions, and, more importantly, to allow the carers to ascertain which of the groups the new chimps should be placed in. The chimps have now been sterilized as, if allowed to breed naturally, their numbers would quickly outgrow the capacity of the sanctuary. A few babies were born, and even now occasionally very young chimps are added to the groups, who have always taken them in as a family member. Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary - Established in cooperation with the Kenya Wildlife Service and the Jane Goodall Institute for Conservation Projects for Chimpanzees Throughout the World, the 1 km sq sanctuary is a non-profit-making venture and the only sanctuary of its kind in Kenya. A gentle and charming diversion for children and adults alike, it offers visitors the unique opportunity of taking a boat ride on the EwasoNyiro River, which flows through the centre of the sanctuary where 26 orphaned chimps enjoy the peace and harmony of their natural environment End of Vacation PRICE No. of Guest Standard Category (4*) Deluxe Category (4* dlx) 2 Adults USD 1850 per adult USD 2050 per adult INCLUSIONS Accommodation on double occupancy in the well Jungle properties Breakfast Plan in Nairobi & All meal plan in Masai Mara & Sweetwaters.
