Monkey World

Monkey World

Set up in 1987 by Jim Cronin and his wife, the centre helps monkeys from all over the world get a new start in life, after being rescued from labs or the clutches of smugglers.

Spread out spaciously across this 65-acre sanctuary, home to over 250 rescued and endangered monkeys and apes of 22 different species

In fact, Monkey World is home to the largest group of chimps outside of Africa – and they’re living together happily in four separate social groups.
