Sierra Leone is currently experiencing its 3rd Wave of COVID-19. As a result, we have had to close down the sanctuary once more. This is never an easy decision due to the great hit upon our daily income, but the health and safety of the chimpanzees and workers at Tacugama is our priority.

We kindly invite you to lend us a helping hand during these testing times and purchase a little something for yourself or a loved one, knowing it is going directly towards the daily running costs of Tacugama. This includes both caring for the 101 rescue chimpanzees under our care, as well as supporting our outreach and education programs. Take a look at our unique products on sale now!
