PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - South Africa’s first free roaming multi-specie primate sanctuary, Monkeyland on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay, has entered adulthood over the past week after celebrating 21 years since they first opened their doors and they are marking this milestone by opening a sister sanctuary in Kwazulu-Natal.
