Monkeyland, Primate sanctuary in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa
The sanctuary spans 12 hectares of indigenous forest, providing natural habitats for 550 primates representing nine different species from around the world.
Monkeyland emerged as the first free-roaming multi-species primate sanctuary, offering a new home to animals from closed zoos, parks, and former private ownership.
Dedicated guides conduct educational tours in multiple languages, sharing knowledge about primate behavior, conservation methods, and environmental protection strategies.
The facility operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours departing regularly and tickets remaining valid for multiple visits throughout the day.
Visitors walk through elevated wooden walkways within the forest canopy, allowing observation of primates engaging in natural behaviors without barriers.
