Unbelievable hospitality, very clean room, spotless,dry bathroom. Breakfast was 5 minutes before time. The beautiful sounds of the birds, woke me up,as if they were sent to 😊. I love it there and a place to reconnect with nature. Bala's Curry was something out of this world,! I told a friend, he should be a chef and not a conservationist.😊 Awesome receptionist. See you soon Tacugama.

We did an hour long tour and it was perfect. You get a great overview of the amazing work they do as well as learn about the chimps themselves. There's a nice gift shop and cafe too to have a look around. Definitely one of top tourist attractions in Sierra Leone.

Tacugama is a wonderful place to stay. The reception team are very friendly and make organising the stay very easy. The tour guides and rangers are very knowledgeable of the chimpanzees and the surrounding area. The lodge was extremely clean and spacious. Dinner and breakfast was tasty and good portion sizes. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Sierra Leone! Thank you Tacugama team.

I recently had a weekend with 2 friends at Tacugama. As I told my family in Canada - ‘I am in heaven’. A wonderful experience. Educational, knowledgeable and caring staff, beautiful accommodations, delicious food, interesting fellow guests. I intend to finish my future visits to Sweet Salone with a stay at Tacugama.

Had a fabulous time seeing the chimpanzees and the people who keep them safe and healthy. Beautiful forested area. Stand overnight and enjoyed hanging out in the hammock with the forest sounds. Great vegetarian dinner (I a vegan) and we even had a bottle of wine with it.

The whole family of 9 enjoyed seeing the creatures live especially my children from England. It was an awesome experience. There are few things you must be weary of, firstly the road is very bad and dangerous only jeeps would be able to go through. Secondly, You would be ask to pay more if you are not a Sierra Leonean which I think is not fair and discriminatory. The people running that facility should maintain the road leading to the Sanctuary to avoid accidents and make it accessible.

I highly recommend the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary to any traveller passing through Freetown. It is very easy to get to by (4WD) hired car, and the atmosphere is just enchanting. You really feel as though you are staying in the trees and you hear the chimps calling to each other as you drift off to sleep after a delicious meal. The rangers are very committed to their charges and have a great deal of knowledge they are pleased to share. A topnotch experience!

A stunning location and an opportunity to learn about how the sanctuary is saving chimpanzees and trying to educate people about the negatives of deforestation. Benjamin was a great tour guide within the sanctuary and ranger Clifford took us on an amazingly informative forest hike. We even heard wild chimps in the forest! We stayed in an Eco lodge over night - truly at one with nature - and it was amazing to hear the sanctuary chimps during the night screeching and hooting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Freetown.

Located in the lush Western Area Peninsula Forest Reserve in Sierra Leone, Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary serves as a haven for rescued and orphaned chimpanzees. Visiting this sanctuary offers a unique and enlightening experience, blending conservation education with the undeniable charm of these primates. We had a fantastic day with the chimps. Kudos to the staff; they're doing an incredible job saving the chimps.
