THE SANCTUARY Chimfunshi is one of the largest and oldest chimpanzee sanctuaries of the world, with over 140 chimpanzees rescued from bushmeat/pet trade coming from all over the world. Our hundreds of acres of pristine Miombo woodland, we provide to the rescued chimpanzees with the safe and social environment they deserve. Besides our duty rescuing chimpanzees in need, Chimfunshi works to protect the Zambian local wildlife such as vervet monkeys, yellow baboons and birds prey among others, with their rescue, rehabilitation and following release in protected areas.
