What to know before visiting Community Baboon Sanctuary

The monkeys are free-ranging. Their location, visibility and calls change throughout the day. Bring insect repellent and walking shoes, and expect to spend time looking up into the canopy rather than viewing animals in enclosures.

Questions about the experience

Questions about Community Baboon Sanctuary

What is the Community Baboon Sanctuary visit like?

You walk with a local guide through community-protected habitat, searching the treetops for black howler monkeys and listening for their calls. The guide explains how village landowners help protect the monkeys' forest corridors. The animals move freely, so the walk and viewing distance depend on where they are that day.

Are the animals at the Baboon Sanctuary really baboons?

They are black howler monkeys, commonly called baboons in Belize. The sanctuary takes its name from that local usage. They live in the surrounding habitat, and a visit does not guarantee a sighting or a close encounter.
