Monkeyland - Approaching Monkeyland the world's first free-roaming, multi-species Primate Sanctuary, you are filled with excitement as you hear the various primates chattering away. Monkeyland is a forever home to ex-captive primates. 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 your 1 hour guided English, Afrikaans, German or French tour with one of the most experienced primate guides in South Africa, you will see the tiny squirrel monkey, the indigenous Vervet Monkey, get an intense stare from a spider monkey and hear the surprisingly loud call of the howler monkey. Gibbons, Capuchin monkeys, Saki monkeys, spectacled langurs and hanuman langurs live out their natural lives in the 12-ha indigenous forest, so like the environment they would have found themselves in had they been able to live in the wild. Your ranger will point out, identify and explain the many wonders of life in the forest. You'll be fascinated to see the rich diversity of bird life to the intricate workings of the forest itself. Focusing on searching for the primates and being rewarded to see the various species as they are meant to found - free and in a natural habitat. Guests leave the sanctuary with a greater understanding of the primates of the world and the threats they are facing. This sanctuary is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Wheelchair accessible. All Weather facility – during rain you will get wet

Birds of Eden - The spectacular and awe-inspiring Birds of Eden is the largest free-flight aviary in the world. The sanctuary encompasses 2.3ha of partly forested land, covered by a 3.2ha mesh and with a 1.2km walkway. Visitors are welcome to explore at their own pace or should they prefer - request a guided tour at no extra cost. The sanctuary is home to 220 different species & subspecies of birds totaling over 3500 birds. From the indigenous and beautiful Knysna lourie with its awkward call for such a gracious bird, the other lourie (Turaco) species, parrots, parakeets, waterfowl, flamingos, starlings, robins and graceful cranes. The sanctuary includes a deep gorge with a waterfall and the aviary is approximately 50m high, covering all the treetops and allowing ample flying space for its winged inhabitants. Being a sanctuary where many previously pet caged birds have now been given the opportunity to spread their wings, this is their first chance to make adequate use of their wings and to experience natural avian behaviour. This is certainly one of the places you must visit when in the Garden Route! You can spend an entire day at any of the sanctuaries. This sanctuary is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Wheelchair accessible. All Weather facility – during rain you will get wet.
