Description

This is a RARE opportunity to meet the ten rescued chimpanzees at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, located in Cle Elum, Washington. The original group of seven chimps were rescued from a Pennsylvania Laboratory and arrived at CSNW June 13, 2008. For the majority of their lives, they were used in biomedical research prior to being housed for several years in a window-less basement with no access to the outdoors. Three new chimpanzees were an emergency placement from Wildlife Waystation in 2019. Since arriving at CSNW, all of these special friends have had sunlight, fresh air, healthy meals and friendship. They have transformed into expressive, playful and often mischievous individuals. They enjoy visits from humans and we can promise you won't be the same after looking into the eyes of these special beings. Learn about their unique personalities and the plans for helping more chimpanzees in need on this intimate guided visit.


This package also includes a 2-night stay in a King or Double Queen room at Hotel Windrow in Ellensburg, WA, a short drive from the sanctuary.  The hotel offers sweeping views of the Kittitas Valley and Downtown Ellensburg, in addition to luxury bedding, locally curated art and more.  Ellensburg is a charming college town with lots to see and do.


You will also enjoy a $50 gift certificate to an Ellensburg landmark, The Yellow Church Cafe.


Don't miss this rare opportunity to visit this amazing sanctuary and enjoy the beautiful central Washington State area.
