Name the Canopy Walkway
Introducing Sierra Leone’s most breathtaking new eco-attraction—the 360-meter Canopy Walkway at Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary.
Suspended high among the treetops of the Western Area National Park, this elevated walkway offers a rare and exhilarating journey at the level of the birds, gliding over lush rainforest and spanning a crystal-clear forest stream. It’s not just a walk—it’s an awakening.
By securing the naming rights, you have the opportunity to soar with Sierra Leone’s only chimpanzee sanctuary and No. 1 rated tourist destination, becoming part of a bold step forward in sustainable tourism and conservation. Your name, or the name of someone you cherish, etched on a plaque at the entrance will welcome visitors as they embark on this breathtaking journey.
Name choices will be subject to approval by Tacugama and FoT, and if a name cannot be agreed then a full refund will be issued.
All funds raised will go to Friends of Tacugama (Charity Number: 1153204).
