Free Annual Entry When You Adopt a Primate Monkey World is a truly unique place. It’s home to four large family groups of chimpanzees living naturally outside of Africa, Europe's only orangutan crèche, and an active breeding population of endangered woolly monkeys.
Already this year, the centre has welcomed an orphaned infant to the orangutan group, and births in the rare white-throated guenons group, the world’s only breeding population of woolly monkeys and the little-studied endangered Bengal slow loris group.
Combining fun with conservation, you can discover more about man’s closest living relative with half-hourly keeper talks, then ‘monkey around’ in the south’s largest Great Ape playground.
You can support this conservation work by joining the adoption scheme, which comes with free annual entry. Find out more at www. monkeyworld.org
