A cheeky Tongue Out Tuesday from the lovely Midge! 😍 😛

Cotton-top tamarins have a very distinct and complex vocal communication system.🗣

They use a variety of sounds to express emotions, mark territory, and communicate within their social groups.🎤
Their calls can range from soft whistles to loud trills, and these vocalizations help them stay in touch with their troop while moving through dense foliage.🌳🌳

Monday mornings are better with Treacle! ✨

Our beautiful Javan Langur enjoys a fresh serving of parsley to kickstart her day 🌿

Did you know parsley is a great source of iron and can help support healthy blood circulation?

Treacle certainly knows how to start the week right! 🦧💚

A Big Welcome to Kolo & Zuri! 🐾

We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Kolo and Zuri to the Monkey Haven family! 🧡

After the sad & unexpected loss of our much-loved meerkat, Gibson, our sweet Tanami was left feeling lonely and missing the company of her kind. 😢

So when we heard that Kolo and Zuri needed a new home, we knew they’d be the perfect companions for Tanami, and we’re so happy to see them all settling in together.🫶
The trio has really hit it off, and it’s been such a joy to watch them bond and become a little family. ❤️
Kolo and Zuri are adjusting beautifully, and Tanami is loving having her new friends around.🎉
We can’t wait to see how their relationship continues to grow, and we’re so grateful to Tapnell Farm Park for trusting us with Kolo and Zuri, and we look forward to watching their new chapter unfold.

Join us in welcoming Zuri & Kolo 💚💜

Watch this space for meerkat updates! ❤️

Join us in wishing Tanami a wonderful 5th birthday today! 🎉

She'll be enjoying her favourite treat — some delicious, juicy locusts! 😲❤️

Did you know that meerkats love eating insects like locusts as part of their diet?

Just look at Yilda, then & now 😲 ❤️

She has been calling the haven home since she was 4 years. ❤️

Who would of thought this girl was once a victim of the illegal pet trade!

Xhabu Update 🌟

Xhabu is doing very well and continues to amaze us with his incredible resilience, overcoming every challenge that comes his way. 💪
As many of you know, he suffered a stroke in July 2023, and then in 2024, he was rushed to the vet for life-saving surgery to remove a dangerous blockage that, if left untreated, could have been fatal. 😔
This remarkable boy has been through so much, but he’s come out the other side even stronger. He truly is the most incredible and resilient gibbon we know. 🐒❤️

Xhabu has supporters all over the world, and we can’t thank you enough for your generous donations, well wishes, and all the love you’ve shown him. 🌍💖
It’s thanks to you, along with his amazing carers and vets, that we can bring you this beautiful footage of Xhabu and his nephew, Bog, enjoying the sunshine. 🌞🍌

Time for the BIG reveal!!

Congrats to everyone who guessed correctly!

The feathers belong to Kookie, our Kookaburra! 🦜💙🙌

Fun facts: ❤️

Feathers are made of keratin, like human hair and nails 🪶.
They help birds fly, stay warm, and protect themselves. ❄️

Different feathers have different roles:
Contour feathers for flight, down feathers for warmth, and tail feathers for steering 🦅.

Kookaburras’ feathers also help them blend into their surroundings to avoid predators. 🌿

Monkey Haven - Our happy sanctuary

Swing on by to Monkey Haven – the happiest attraction in town! The award-winning primate rescue centre and sanctuary is a favourite on TripAdvisor and a recent winner of best small attraction in England.

Come along and meet our wonderful family, including whooping gibbons, mischievous monkeys, naughty meerkats, incredible reptiles and beautiful birds of prey, that have all been rescued and given a new lease of life. They have such fun…and you will too.

There are keeper talks and animal feeds throughout the day, where you can find out all about our awesome animals and they came to be here. You can also get up close to hand-reared birds of prey at the daily talks – just pop along to ‘Have a hoot with the owls’ or learn to handle a snake at ‘Reptile Rendezvous’.

Our mission is to provide a happy Haven for rescued animals. Many of the animals we care for have been rescued from the cruel pet trade and are very rare. Monkey Haven is a registered charity and all proceeds from your visit will help the animals you’ll meet and enable us to rescue more animals in need of care.
