Total commitment and a love for animals drives this Plettenberg Bay woman to try and change the law about whether animals can own the land on which they live, and so protect their habitat forever.
Visit Monkeyland - the worlds first free roaming multi-specie primate sanctuary in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.
A true primate sanctuary
Monkeyland is the worlds first free roaming multi-specie primate sanctuary. It's mission is to educate and foster greater understanding of our primate cousins and the threats and challenges they are facing.
Free roaming primates
The majority of primates living in the wild do so in large family groups. We care for rescued primates and do all we can to give them as natural a life as possible in the habitat we have access to.
Support Monkeyland
At present, Monkeyland cares for over 550 primates which are spread across 9 species. You can support our cause by visiting the sanctuary, visiting our shop, volunteering, or buying a square meter (or more) of forest for the animals to help preserve our sanctuary!
FootGolf
Swap the usual plans for something seriously different – FootGolf at Monkeyland, right next to the iconic Birds of Eden aviary!
This isn’t just another round of football or a walk in the park – it’s a wild adventure across fairways, round natural dams where your skills, precision, and power are put to the test. Navigate tricky terrain, curve your shots past reed beds and trees, and aim for the giant holes.
Whether you are looking for an adrenaline boost or a sports fanatic who’s done it all – you haven’t done this. Bring your friends, lace up, and let’s see who’s got the best game when the jungle is your gallery.
Our primates need your help!
For as little as $5 you can buy a square meter (or more)
of forest to help preserve our sanctuary.

It’s Baby Season at Monkeyland
It’s baby "season" at Monkeyland in Plettenberg Bay, an exciting and heartwarming time that showcases the newest additions to our sanctuary. At Monkeyland, we take careful measures to manage breeding, sterilizing most of the male primates while allowing selective breeding to ensure that our primates can form natural family bonds.
