My favourite, the monkeys!


The baby monkeys were the cutest things ever!
Tiny wrinkled faces and fluffy hair. They were very quick and very hard to snap with the camera because as soon as you lined up your shot they ran off at a hundred miles an hour!
One of the mother monkeys even had tiny twin babies!

The mothers are very protective of the little ones. I loved the way they seem to be a great big family. Plenty of bickering too!


The sit and groom each other, hug each other,and run around like they are mental.


We even had the pleasure of watching a few of them playing in a water hole. They were climbing up the tree and dive bombing on each other when any of them tried to have a drink. They are very good swimmers! I have to say I have never given any thought to whether a monkey can swim or not but now I know they can.
