Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary in South Africa is the World’s first free-roaming, multi-species primate sanctuary.
More than 450 primates free-roam the Monkeyland’s forest. Around 450 apes, monkeys and lemurs live at Monkeyland, including gibbons, capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, spider monkeys, miniature monkeys, vervets, saki monkeys, howler monkeys, two species of langurs and three species of lemur.
Changing the Ways People Think About Primates: What is a primate? A primate is any member of the biological order Primates, the group that contains all the species commonly related to the lemurs, monkeys, and apes, with the latter category including humans. Primates are found all over the world. Non-human primates occur mostly in Central and South America, Africa, and southern Asia. A few species exist up into southern Mexico, and in Asia as far north as northern Japan.
Primates face an abundance of factors threatening to put them into extinction, but we can still prevent their loss if we so choose. Surprisingly, many people are not aware of, or choose to ignore, the fact that there are so many primate species on the brink of extinction. Unfortunately, primate conservation is low on the list of priorities for a lot of countries (including ours). The only way things are going to change is if people can learn to respect the other primates as not only a valuable component in the planets ecosystems, but also as our closest species relatives who are in dire need of our help.
Since Monkeyland opened its doors to the public in 1998, the sanctuary has changed the way people think about primates.
Experienced rangers guide one-hour tours through Monkeyland’s indigenous forest in English, Afrikaans, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
