Brilliant opportunity to walk through a forested area with a guide with free roaming monkeys within a few feet of you. Guided tour lasts around an hour and is very informative but the monkeys are the stars of the show! We took loads of photos and everyone was thrilled with the number and close proximity of the monkeys There is a rope bridge to cross as part of the tour and ground is uneven, plus there are quite a few mozzies so lather yourself with the insect repellent they provide! We loved it all! The Birds of Eden attraction is literally next door so maybe plan to visit both on a combo ticket as provides a saving.

we had an amazing experience, our guide Andy was very knowledgeable and it was fun to wander around with all the monkeys.

That’s is the most beautiful and entertaining way to spend hours in the nature The guide was great and to see all the monkeys was impressive and so nice You definitely must put this on your list, when travelling the garden route or being next to Plettenberg Bay

This was well worth a visit. The staff are knowledgeable, the tour guides are thorough and very accommodating. The monkeys seemed happy and cared for and my 3 year old loved the entire experience!

What an incredible tour we have just had with our fantastic guide, Ralph! He was so informative, helpful and patient and made our visit so special! Can’t recommend this enough and if you get Ralph, he will make your day!

Informative and friendly, our guide was first class - great photo opportunity! Went on to Birds of Eden - another brilliant visit!

Organisations like this depend on the people who come along and pay to visit the attraction: something the receptionists at Monkeyland appear to have either forgotten or never realised. It’s a real shame when the behaviour of staff challenges your wish to give your money to a charity. This was supposed to have been a nice experience but the ignorance and rudeness of the front desk staff soured it. I’d have marked this “excellent” but the reception staff left a bad taste and made it, at best, “average”. Maybe, as a tourist, you’ll find somewhere else, where your visit will be appreciated.

Hundreds of monkeys roaming free in a very spacious forested reserve. Knowledgeable explanations from the guide during the 1 hour walk around the reserve. Interesting, informative and fun! Regarding the occasional negative review here: We saw no mosquitoes But yes, it's a forest so come prepared. And yes a monkey may try to very quickly snatch for example your glasses. So either don't wear them or keep one hand on them at ALL times. And yes if there are kids on your tour, inevitably they are noisy and will disturb the monkeys. Blame their over-indulgent parents.

We had not planned to visit Monkeyland but when our whale and dolphin watching safari was cancelled due to poor weather at sea, we found Monkeyland as an alternative and we are so glad we did! We have never been to any animal sanctuary anywhere in the word where you interact so freely with the animals. There are 600 monkeys, lemurs and apes (2 Gibbons) and they are all around you as your guide (ours was Andy, thanks Andy!) takes you through the scantuary and tells you all about the different species. You really get up close and personal with these amazing animals. A truly unique experience and well worth a visit.

My husband was reluctant to visit as he’s is not a big fan of zoos. However, what a revelation Monkeyland is. The monkeys and lemurs have all been rescued from private homes, zoos and labs and are able to roam free in a 12 hectare site. Our guide Ralph was informative and knowledgeable. Altogether an experience not to be missed

We really enjoyed the monkeyland experience which allows you to see more than 500 monkeys all free roaming and living their best life.

One of the best! The place is amazing for family and couples. Guide are auosome Love it! We will back soon The price is definitely worth it

Very interesting and informative, we saw a lot of monkeys and even had an encounter with two of the monkeys which really made the trip. I would recommend it to anyone who loves animals or who is curious about animals.

Monkeyland was a great experience and they have great education and protection for the monkeys. We took a 9 and 11 year old on the tour and they loved it. The guide was knowledgeable and patient. So many monkey species from around the world. And lots of ring tailed lemurs a favourite!

Supporting wildlife sanctuaries can be a bit of a guessing game in South Africa. Some reserves claim to be sanctuaries but allow touching and petting and feeding or purchase animals who should remain in the wild. Monkeyland is a true sanctuary. It is part of SASSA - a local sanctuaries alliance and endorsed by WildChoices (WildChoices is a non-profit company dedicated to improving the state of the captive wildlife tourism industry). Monkeyland provides a home for primates which were rescued from zoos, labs, circuses or were unwanted pets. Monkeyland is a world leading refuge and the lemurs, monkeys and apes here roam freely. There are awesome opportunities to learn about primate behaviour from the guides, take photos or videos or just watch the animals grooming, feeding and swinging. Our kids are 5 and 8 and they loved every minute of this tour. Warning - please listen carefully to the guides, they advise visitors to put away sunshades and if you ignore them your property is likely to get pinched by some of the clever animals. We loved seeing the White Handed Gibbons and the lanky Black Spider Monkey. Please consider the purchase of a square metre of the Forest on behalf of the monkeys. The goal is that they will eventually own their own home!
