Company Description
Located just on the outskirts of Freetown, in the Western Area Peninsula National Park, the sanctuary was founded in 1995 to enforce wildlife laws and rescue and rehabilitate critically endangered orphaned Western chimpanzees. Tacugama has since grown into a diverse conservation organization and tourism destination. Caring for close to 120 chimpanzees on-site, Tacugama is also actively engaged offsite in community outreach, wildlife field research, environmental sustainability, conservation education and alternative livelihoods programs. We are also an eco-tourism hub for Freetown – visitors can do sanctuary tours, jungle hikes, stay in one of our 6 beautiful eco-lodges, or participate in events from jazz night to yoga retreats.
