Apenheul Primate Park, Primate park in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.

The park extends across a forested area where more than 300 primates from 33 different species live in natural environments with minimal barriers.

Photographer Wim Mager established Apenheul in 1971 as the first facility worldwide where monkeys could move freely among visitors in a forest setting.

The educational programs at Apenheul demonstrate the connections between humans and primates through daily presentations and interactive learning sessions.

Visitors receive specific instructions upon entry regarding personal belongings, as several monkey species roam freely and may interact with guests.

The facility maintains the largest insect hotel in the world, contributing to local biodiversity while supporting the natural forest ecosystem.
