The monkey islands bring together 12 species of primates from Africa, Asia and South America, including brown capuchins, red variety makis, emperor tamarins and white-handed gibbons. Each enclosure is designed to encourage the animals’ natural behaviour, with vegetation, ropes, platforms and shelters adapted to their needs. Visitors can observe the primates from shaded walkways and discreet vantage points, without disturbing their peace and quiet.
