chimfunshi wildlife orphanage
The Chimfunshi
Wildlife Orphanage in central Zambia
is a non-profit refuge that cares for a
wide variety of sick, wounded or unwanted
animals -- but the primary residents are
over 100 orphaned chimpanzees.
Chimfunshi was founded in 1983 when a
game ranger brought a badly wounded infant
chimpanzee to the cattle ranch of David
and Sheila Siddle, a British couple who
had lived in along the Zambian copperbelt
since the 1950s. The Siddles nursed that
chimp – nicknamed "Pal"
– back to health, thereby establishing
a tradition of care and respect that forms
the legacy of the sanctuary.
Chimfunshi is an Internationally
recognised sanctuary & rehabilitation
centre. This is a truly worthwhile cause
and support from visitors is always welcome.
