Monkeyland - you must see it!:
info@monkeyland.co.za
Monkeyland is unique and only 20 km away from Milkwood Glen.
The monkeys are not held in cages, but they roam around freely in a 20 ha large forest. You can choose whether you want to see the monkeys for free with an open view from the restaurant or deck. To have lunch amongst the frolicsom primates of Monkeyland is an unforgettable experience. Have a cup of coffee or enjoy your lunch with them. (mind that they do not steal your food!)
You can also choose to go along a one hour guided tour. This is really recommended as it is the only way that Monkeyland gets financed. Do not forget a mosquito prevention though! In these guided tours you can learn such a lot about the primates and their habits and with your ticket you can join as many tours as you wish.
