In recent years, the encroachment of civilization into the natural habitats of these incredible primates has led to a significant increase in the number of orphaned monkeys. This trend shows no signs of slowing down. As part of your tour, a portion of the fees you pay goes directly towards supporting the sanctuary's ongoing maintenance and compassionate care for these vulnerable animals.   Orphaned baby monkeys, often without the opportunity for adoption by another monkey family, find their way to this haven. Lacking the essential survival skills needed in the wild, the Monkey Sanctuary offers them a permanent, loving home.   Your visit here offers a unique opportunity to interact with a diverse array of monkey species, including the renowned Howler Monkey. Yet, the sanctuary extends its mission beyond just primates, as it also provides refuge for rescued sheep, horses, and various other animals in need.   Escape the confines of your hotel or resort for an enriching afternoon reconnecting with nature, all while supporting a noble cause at the Congo Trail Monkey Sanctuary.
