Baboon Sanctuary

[Triple T]

Hi,

 

Has anyone ever been here? How far is it from the port? What is the cost? Is it worth it? Do you get to interact with them or just look at them?

 

Thank you,

We all felt the baboon sanctuary and city tour was not worth it. We went by bus passing through a city then when someone in the group asked when were going to get the city tour the guide advised us we already did. We expected to get off the bus and be able to take pictures and have buildings etc identified for us.

 

Once we got there we sat for a long talk about the world wildlife federation. After waiting so long we expected to be hiking into the jungle after all we brought our DEET and bought these small brooms they were selling to sweep away fire ants from our feet. We walked outside and into a ten foot deep "jungle" and the monkeys came down right away and we fed them. It was all anticlimactic and just plain not worth the money. I would not take this tour again.
