Welcome to Monkeyland

A living forest experience you will never forget

Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary is the world’s rst mult i species, f ree roaming primate sanctuary providing

ex-captive primates with a healthier, more natural life. Around 500 apes, monkeys and lemurs live at Monkeyland including gibbons, langurs, saki, capuchin, squirrel, vervet, howler and spider monkeys along with black and white ruffed and ring-tailed lemurs in 12 hectares of pristine indigenous forest. Our experienced and knowledgeable multi-lingual rangers guide one hour tours through the forest where they will point out, identify and explain the many wonders of the forest, from the rich diversity of bird life to the intricate workings of the forest itself. The emphasis however is on searching for the primates and the reward is to see the various species, living as they were meant to, free and in a natural habitat. Guests leave our sanctuary with a greater understanding of the primates of the world and the threats that they face in the wild.

Welcome to Jukani

Where big cats are at home

and leopards. Each species is housed in large natural enclosures in an area covering 17 hectares of indigenous forest and grassland. A visit to Jukani is a unique experience with the primary focus being on education and conservation, where the animals needs are put rst and foremost. The white lions and tigers, like most of the other animals, have been rescued from human exploitation. They do not breed and will never be used for hunting in any form, here they will live out the rest of their lives in comfort and safety. Along with the big cats, Jukani is also home to cheetah, cougar, caracal, serval, hyena, jackal, African painted dog, honey badger, zorilla and raccoon. In the adjoining grasslands, zebra and springbok graze. Tours led by our experienced and

knowledgeable rangers last approximately one hour. Jukani also boasts a large vivarium where snakes from around the world can be viewed.
