Welcome to Bush Babies
The bush babies sanctuary is one of several sanctuaries in a group of sanctuaries, including the elephant sanctuary that provides for orphaned and abused animals. Situated west of Hartbeesport Dam alongside the Elephant sanctuary it provides an environment where monkeys (primates) can be given their freedom in a natural environment. The sanctuary situated in one of the many Kloofs (Gorges) of the Magaliesberg mountain range provides the perfect environment for Monkeys from around the world.

Q: Are we allowed to walk through the park by ourselves and touch the monkeys?
A: No, we have a strict policy of de-humanization in order to assist the primates in the process of family structure forming. All tours are structured and guided. The experience is described as a non-interactive game-viewing opportunity to see once-captive primates in a wild environment Q: Are we allowed to feed the monkeys?
