Entry to Monkeyland
is free; this entitles you to spend
time on the forest deck, which also
doubles as a restaurant. From
this area primates moving about the
forest are always seen, and heard. The
only charge is to go on a monkey safari
(optional) with one of our game rangers,
this is a foot safari into the forest
where the primates (16 species from
around the world) have been released
and are free roaming. The rangers will
track the primates down & impart
interesting information about them,
the forest and anything else you come
across. Part of the safari is across
our canopy walk, which actually rises
above the forest canopy for a birds
eye view of this primate paradise. These
walking safaris last an hour, and depart
from reception each half hour. The tours
depart daily, every half hour and are
open-ended which means that you can
go on more than one tour on the day
you are visiting us.
Birds
of Eden is situated next to Monkeyland,
and similar to Monkeyland requires
no pre-booking unless a multi-lingual
guide is required for a guided tour.
The difference between Monkeyland
and Birds of Eden is that you are
able to stroll about the bird sanctuary
without a safari guide whereas you
cannot do so at Monkeyland.
