Itinerary

  • Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary

    The aim of the sanctuary is to afford these wonderfully intelligent creatures a healthier, more natural life and aims to raise public awareness about primates. Over 550 apes, monkeys and lemurs live at Monkeyland. On arrival in the parking lot you will go through a screening station where we require everyone aged 3 and up to have a form filled in and temperature taken from the wrist. You will then be escorted to reception where after you have your ticket one of our guides will take you on a 45 min to 1-hour tour. If you require a guided tour not to be in English but in Afrikaans, German or French then please book this at least 48 hours in advance. On your tour with one of the most experienced primate guides in South Africa, you will see an array of primates living out their natural lives in the 12-ha indigenous forest. This sanctuary is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Wheelchair accessible. All Weather facility Masks are required at all times.

Free roaming monkey experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Brilliant opportunity to walk through a forested area with a guide with free roaming monkeys within a few feet of you. Guided tour lasts around an hour and is very informative but the monkeys are the stars of the show! We took loads of photos and everyone was thrilled with the number and close proximity of the monkeys There is a rope bridge to cross as part of the tour and ground is uneven, plus there are quite a few mozzies so lather yourself with the insect repellent they provide! We loved it all! The Birds of Eden attraction is literally next door so maybe plan to visit both on a combo ticket as provides a saving.

fun, informative, monkeys are everywhere

Published on Feb, 2025

we had an amazing experience, our guide Andy was very knowledgeable and it was fun to wander around with all the monkeys.

Just beautiful to see all the monkeys - a must on your travel list on the garden route

Published on Feb, 2025

That’s is the most beautiful and entertaining way to spend hours in the nature The guide was great and to see all the monkeys was impressive and so nice You definitely must put this on your list, when travelling the garden route or being next to Plettenberg Bay

Great tour guides!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was well worth a visit. The staff are knowledgeable, the tour guides are thorough and very accommodating. The monkeys seemed happy and cared for and my 3 year old loved the entire experience!

Excellent, recommended, spacious natural setting.

Published on Nov, 2024

Hundreds of monkeys roaming free in a very spacious forested reserve. Knowledgeable explanations from the guide during the 1 hour walk around the reserve. Interesting, informative and fun! Regarding the occasional negative review here: We saw no mosquitoes But yes, it's a forest so come prepared. And yes a monkey may try to very quickly snatch for example your glasses. So either don't wear them or keep one hand on them at ALL times. And yes if there are kids on your tour, inevitably they are noisy and will disturb the monkeys. Blame their over-indulgent parents.
