Feeding time for the animals is at 2:00pm which is a must see. We arrived at 2:40 and there were still plenty of turtles, deer, monkeys and birds eating at the feeding spot. There is so much to see at the Wildlife Reserve that I could spend hours there. I am a HUGE turtle lover and the fact that there... More

Great fun and a wonderful experience especially for any children. Get up close and personal to the monkeys, peacocks, turtles, deer and various other animals...you must be there for feeding time at 2pm....the monkeys are a hoot the way they clamber all over the turtles to get their lunch.... As an aside we ordered a tuna bagel in the very... More

We went to visit the monkeys and were not disappointed. We saw monkeys as soon as we walked through the gate. We hiked the little trails and saw more monkeys. Then we went over for the feeding time. Wow. There were so many monkeys, including tiny baby monkeys. We had so much fun that we came back again later in... More

We arrived at lunchtime, hoping to get something to eat before the big 2.00pm feed. The cafe has a limited menu, but much better than you might expect on first impression. (Sandwiches, cokes, coffee) and to be fair they did make them fresh to Order. On arrival, you have to go to the Grenade Hall Signal station and buy a... More

When I went to the reserve I expected to see the snakes, birds and other reptiles that I remembered from going there on tour as a child. But they were out of bounds, in quarantine, wondered why we were not told so up front before we paid to come in that all animals were not accessible. However there were many... More

Had a great time at the reserve , but again there is no one to give you information or tour guide you just do it yourself . The monkeys made it worth the visit along with the other animals at the reserve . Check it out.

The tours around different areas were so interesting and confirmed out resolve in doing our best to protect the wild life and natural habitat. The walk around the nature trail took longer that we expected as there were information notices that gave you food for thought and confirmed my views against genetically modified crops and for less intensive food production....

Spent a couple of hours here wandering around the reserve. While we were looking at the Cayman a young deer toppled into the pool. The sides being steep it could not jump out. A crowd gathered and one concerned lady run to the reception area to get assistance for the deer. After a further 15 minutes there were no signs... More
