About Monkey around at Monkeyland

Swing yourself into a tree thick primate sanctuary and explore un-caged monkeys and pre-monkey species that take your affection captive. A free walking foot safari of Monkeyland transports you into a land of big bright eyes that remind you of your own and bushy tails that remind you of your tree-house daydreaming days.

Eco-sensitive trails reveal these fascinating free-roaming mammals in their natural habitat; some rescued or rehabilitated and some born in this Garden Route kingdom. Knowledgeable game-rangers guide visitors to the discovery of monkeys foraging, mating, playing an unaware of their human audience. Resident monkey species include; Black-handed Spider Monkeys, Black Lemurs, Black & White Ruffed Lemurs, Brown Howlers, Bushbabies, Capuchins, Common Marmosets, Common Squirrel Monkeys, Cottontop Tamarins, Golden-handed Tamrins, Northern Grey Necked Owl Monkeys, Ringtail Lemurs, Tufted or Brown Capuchins, Spectacled Langurs, Vervent Monkeys and White-handed Gibbons. Africa, Asia, Madagascar and South America are all represented by a playful monkey breed.

Diverse bird-life sing through the forest while multi-lingual tours guides part with monkey secrets and monkey's mimic amused on-lookers; 'monkey see, monkey do' afterall. Walk amongst indigenous tree trunks and shrubs of a 23 Hectare Afromontane Forest with branches reaching up to 60m skyward.

Plant species include; Assegai, Bastard Taaibos, Black Stinkwood, Bladder-nut, Brandblare, Bracket Fungus, Bushman Poison Bulb, Cape Beech, Cat-thorn, Candlewood, Castor-oil Plant, Climbing Saffronwood, Common Spikethorn, Common Turkey-Berry, Dawidjiewortel, Hard Pear, Kamassi, Kooboo-Berry, False Olive, Fennel, Forest Elder, Forest Tree Fern, Large Num-Num, Outeniqua Yellowwood, Real Yellowwood, Red-Currant, Pennywort, Sagewood, September Bush, Sieketroos, Silky Bark, Small Knobwood, Spoonwood, The Common Forest Grape, The White Stinkwood, Wild Mint, Wild Olive, Wild Peach, White Pear and White Whitchhazel trees.

Experience life from a monkey's point of view as you weave between leaves and roots. See life from a bird's point of view as you step across Africa's longest rope suspension bridge (118m) connecting the canopies of trees over a deep canyon. Should a diet of berries alone not be enough to satisfy your appetite and a grass skirt not do your figure any justice; refresh at the Forest Café Restaurant and splurge at the Forest Shop.
