The very passionate and endearing Lara Mostert chats to us about Monkeyland – the worlds first free roaming multi-specie primate sanctuary. Lara also invites her neighbour Henko Kleingeld from the Elephant Sanctuary to join her and they perform a fantastic rendition of a monkey mating call – not to be missed! Everyone in the vicinity, including restaurant staff, stopped to see what was happening!

Lara also let’s us on a little secret … that King Julian, the Ringtail lemur in the movie Madagascar, cannot be king because in Madagascar all female Lemurs are boss!

Monkeyland is based near Plettenberg Bay along the Garden Route, South Africa. It is hugely popular, receiving up to 1000 visitors a day at Monkeyland and Birds of Eden in the peak season.

Lara’s knowledge and passion are infectious – there is no stopping her once you get her talking about monkeys! CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO and  take a look here for further information about Monkeyland, Birds of Eden and Elephant Sanctuary
