Monkeyland, located about 30km from Milkwood Manor is a lovely family outing in the Plettenberg Bay area. Monkeyland is the world’s first free-roaming multi-species primate sanctuary and offers visitors the opportunity to view a variety of primate species. Monkeyland is first and foremost a sanctuary and is home to previously caged animals returned to as natural an environment as possible.

The sanctuary hosts 450 monkeys and species include: White-handed Gibbon, Bolivian Squirrel Monkey, Black Howler Monkey, Black & White Ruffer Lemur and Chacma Baboon to name a few. A family trip to Monkeyland can include a guided tour through the forest to visit the animals, a walk over an 128m suspension bridge over the canopy, a visit to the Monkeyland gift shop and a meal at the Monkeyland restaurant. This is a very family friendly destination.
Did I hear someone say BANANA…?
Monkeyland’s sister sanctuary is Birds of Eden – the world’s largest free-flight bird sanctuary is a delightful addition to a visit to Monkeyland with over 3500 birds and soon there will be another addition: the Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary which will be home to wild cats including White Lions, Panthers and Tigers and some awesome African Animals.
