Cliff(y) Goes Travelling

Ngamba Island, Lake Victoria, Uganda Roughly 23 km southeast of Entebbe, Uganda's chimpanzee sanctuary founded in 1998 provides a semi-natural environment for the primates to recover and thrive over their lifespan of up to 60 years. Its mission is "to sustainably conserve chimpanzees in their habitats and provide captive care to those who can't survive in the wild."

Kuang Si Waterfall Park, Luang Prabang, Laos Daily: 8.00am - 5.30pm From elephants, let's move on to bears. Strategically located along the way to the beautiful Kuang Si Falls, the non-profit rescue centre has been taking care of Asiatic black bears that were saved from illegal trading. These bears are endangered; the young cubs are often targeted by hunters after their mothers have been killed due to easy concealment and transportation.

Ban Noun Savath, Luang Prabang, Laos The most adventurous day in Luang Prabang, Laos began with a rather mundane van ride to a sanctuary that's All Lao Elephant Camp. For more than ten years at the point of writing, it has been rescuing elephants from the logging industry, giving them a new lease of life.
