Monkeyland Guided Tour in Plettenberg Bay
Overview
Monkeyland is the world's first and largest free-roaming primate sanctuary hosting 9 exotic and indigenous species and over 550 primates. At Monkeyland you will go on a 1-hour, guided tour into the 12-hectare forest with one of the trained professional guides. The guides will attempt to find many different species and give the you ample time to take photos and ask questions. Group size is limited to 16 guests.
You can book a guided tour in French but we would need a minimum of 48 hours notification and a set time of arrival to guarantee this for you.
On this platform you can buy a single ticket for Monkeyland or a combination with Monkeyland and Birds of Eden (world's largest single dome aviary). That is a combo ticket. You can also buy a TripTic which is the best Per sanctuary rate for Monkeyland, Birds of Eden and Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary. If you have a child who is not yet 3 you do not have to pay for them just bring them along as we are open to all ages.

You can only tour the sanctuary with a guide and our guide unfortunately was not very enthusiastic. It was lovely to see the monkeys and lemurs though. There is not much to do for small kids in terms of a play area etc.

This was one of our favorite places in South Africa and was only a few pounds each. Got some amazing pictures up close and personal. Definitely worth a visit. We will go next time we are in africa. It was november and rainy but it didnt spoil the day.

Very interesting to see the monkeys and they definitely do good work with regard to the rehabilitation of all these monkeys (all coming from either captivity or injury). The walk is completely in the wild area so you walk right next to the monkeys. This means that strollers are not really possible (as you are going through roots and bushes and trees). Take a carrier if you want to put a smaller child into something. They could definitely maintain the facilities better and design the walk and the bridge better.tonyg06
