Vervet Monkey Foundation

The Vervet Monkey Foundation in Tzaneen is a rehabilitation, education and sanctuary organisation focused on vervet monkeys. Its visitor experience is fundamentally different from a conventional zoo: guided visits are tied to the foundation’s rescue, rehabilitation, education and conservation work, giving travellers a closer look at the challenges facing vervet monkeys in South Africa.

This is a strong option for visitors interested in wildlife conservation and educational things to do in Tzaneen. The foundation welcomes guided tours and educational groups, but current visitor information indicates that advance arrangements are important. Travellers should book directly with the foundation and follow its guidance around sanctuary access and animal welfare.
