Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary
Monkeyland
The world's first multi-species free-roaming primate sanctuary, where guided walks through indigenous forest reveal lemurs, capuchins and squirrel monkeys.
Monkeyland is located at The Crags, about 16 km east of Plettenberg Bay. It opened in 1998 and houses primates rescued from the pet trade and zoos, allowing them to live freely in natural forest. Visits follow a guided walk of about one hour. Along the way, visitors cross a forest suspension bridge about 128 meters long and can see more than ten monkey species, including ring-tailed lemurs, capuchins and gibbons. A combined ticket is available with the neighboring Birds of Eden and Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary.
