Come discover the monkeys of Cape Verde and explore their natural habitat!

Guided by a Ranger from the association Santuário dos macacos de Cabo Verde, you will explore authentic and extraordinary landscapes to encounter monkeys and other incredible wildlife.

The association offers an educational discovery tour of Cape Verde's monkeys on Santiago Island, in the municipality of Ribeira Grande de Santiago (Cidade Velha).

The association has just developed an educational tour dedicated to Cape Verde's monkeys on Santiago Island. Our mission is threefold:

Raise awareness about the challenges facing monkeys in Cape Verde and highlight the association's vital work.

Champion monkeys as ambassadors for ecotourism and responsible nature tourism, urging authorities to officially recognize their presence and enact protective legislation.

Raise crucial funds to power our ongoing rescue and conservation efforts.

Organized as a full-day experience, the tour allows you to observe these monkeys thriving in their natural habitat and gain deep insight into the urgent challenges of protecting and conserving primates and wildlife across the country. Please find attached below the full presentation of the Cape Verde monkey and wildlife discovery tour.
