Baboons, baboons and even more baboons are seen in the open savannas and evergreen forests of Shai Hills. These amusing primates are some of the world’s largest monkeys, and Ghana is where some call home. You’ll have a chance to see the baboons up close and feed them bananas; but be warned, baboons are opportunistic eaters, so keep your eyes wide open, as they love to snatch anything that’s unattended including food and other belongings you might carry.
NB: Please note that trips to see the baboons will be supervised as your safety is highly important to us.
For over 200 years, the Mona monkeys have inhabited the tropical forest surrounding the small village of Tafi Atome.

The playful monkeys are wild and come out to play; posing for pictures as you say “cheese” and grabbing bananas as you offer them.
