Amazing monkey sanctuary!
Community Baboon Sanctuary was a hit with our kids! Despite the name, they're actually black howler monkeys, not baboons. We saw several troops in the trees - they're impressive animals with their loud howling calls. The sanctuary is a community-run conservation project which is cool. Guide was knowledgeable about the monkeys and birds. Easy walk through the forest. Great for families!
