Monkey Land
You cannot walk on your own in the "Monkeyland Primates Resort". You have to join a "safari" led by a game ranger who explains what this sanctuary is all about. Sorry, most of the names of the animals I have forgotten. So please excuse my stupid comments. If you want to know more, then you can look up its internet site www.monkeyland.co.za.

Birds of Eden
After "Monkeyland" I walked to the adjacent "Birds of Eden". Here you can walk freely around in the park without a guide. It's really big and covered by a huge net, so the birds cannot get out. Also here I do not remember most names of the birds. So I left out my comments. Next time I will write them down right away. Some of the birds you will easily recognize yourself. You can also look up its internet site www.birdsofeden.co.za.

Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Center
After "Birds of Eden" I was picked up by my driver to bring me to the "Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Center". Here you cannot walk on your own but you have to join a ranger to show you around. He will also tell you what this sanctuary is all about. He also named all the different wild cats I do not remember anymore You better look up its internet site www.tenikwa.com. The leopard and the little wild cats were all fenced-in. Only the cheetas I could get very close without a fence in between.
