Monkey Sanctuary

Wildlife and Safari's


Hartbeespoort North West /Gauteng

The Monkey  Sanctuary is a privately owned, non-subsidized sanctuary, covering approximately 7 ha, situated alongside the elephant sanctuary in one of the many kloofs of the Magaliesberg mountain range.

Monkey Sanctuary in Hartbeespoort, North West Province is one of only eight free-release primate sanctuaries globally. Our primates are received on the basis of public donations, and supported by funding generated by our guided tours and sales of our curios.

Primates, such as our squirrel, spider, and capuchin monkeys, are given a new lease on life at Monkey Sanctuary. Previously raised as household pets, or bred for the pet trade, our monkeys are introduced to a wild world laden with waterfalls, lush vegetation, natural mountain springs, and the chance to reside in as natural an environment as possible. Our goal is to give them the opportunity to live as they would in the wild.

Monkey Sanctuary recognizes the importance of community education. Not only are our tours highly informative, but we strive to create awareness of the benefit of releasing primates into sanctuaries such as our own. Guests leave our tours with the understanding that monkeys do not make good pets, and that they are better suited to a natural, free-living environment.

We look forward to guiding you through our Sanctuary and trust that you will enjoy the splendor of our natural environment to the fullest.

The Monkey Tour

1) I am aware that the monkey tour is conducted on elevated wooden walkways and suspension bridges, some of which are 35 meters above the ground.
2) I understand that the monkey tour is offered for the purposes of enhancing my understanding of monkeys as they are in a free-roaming environment as opposed to offering an interactive (touch, feel, and feed) experience.
3) I understand that touching monkeys may cause risk to their health and that humanizing them can threaten their long-term ability to remain in a free-roaming environment where they can be viewed by members of the public.
4) I realize that due to the walkways being elevated, there may be a risk of falling if I climb over or through the safety railings. In view of this, I understand that I need to watch where I am walking and am personally liable for the control and safety of my own children. I acknowledge that no running is allowed on the walkways or within the monkey enclosure.
5) I acknowledge Bushbabies Monkey Sanctuary only permits a maximum of 2 people accompanied by a guide on either/both of the suspension bridges at one time. Further to this, I resolve not to bounce or rock or cause said bridges to sway unnecessarily. I understand that I may request not to go across any of the bridges if I choose, for any reason, not to.
6) I further declare that I am prepared to act responsibly at all times.
7) I declare that my name and particulars entered into this form are the truth and acknowledge that should I provide false information I am liable for prosecution for acting fraudulently.
I freely and willfully agree to all the terms and conditions under which the activity is being conducted. I hereby agree all information is true and correct and I have read and understood the above.
