Monkey Town | Somerset West
Monkey Town, located on the N2 in Somerset West is a Wildlife Centre for monkeys and apes. There are more than 250 animals and 26 different exotic species including Tammy, Ruby, and Sunny, our famous chimp sisters. There are also koi ponds, many bird species and small antelope at the wildlife centre.
Monkey Town is not just a primate centre but also a wildlife centre with over 700 animals in total to admire.
Visitors to the well-designed enclosure at Monkey Town observe the monkeys from caged walkways allowing the monkeys to roam freely on the outside.
Monkey Town is open to the public 365 days a year from 8:00 to 17:00.
Don’t forget your camera – the best way to capture your visit forever! You can share your photo’s on our facebook page.
All our primates enjoy their own specific, well-balanced diet. We hope that you enjoy some great food on your visit, but please do not feed any of our animals. Our keepers take good care of this!
One of the great things about visiting Monkey Town Primate Centre is that you see and experience different things each time. However, you may come across an enclosure where you cannot see the animal(s).
The warm weather is keeping our animals in shaded areas, or the cold weather has taken them to their shelters.
