A wonderful place

The staff clearly know the animals very well and talk about them like they genuinely value them as friends. A really great place for making people think about respecting animals and learning how to protect them.
Some vegan options in the cafe - not the largest selection, but enough to find something if you didn't bring a picnic.

Wonderful little sanctuary!

I went to a couple of the talks around the sanctuary, and the animal carers clearly knew so much about all the lil furry pals - not only their practical needs and fun facts, but about their personalities and interactions with the other animals. There were also lots of educational boards around the sanctuary explaining why they shouldn't be kept as pets, and describing each animal's journey to the sanctuary (as well as their name and a bit about their personality). The animals cared for include monkeys (of course), fish, owls, meerkats, and a variety of reptiles. There's also a café and gift shop, though the café is not exclusively vegan unfortunately. Still, highly recommend a visit!

Pros: Staff seem very caring and knowledgeable, Lots of animal welfare information displayed, The animals are so sweet!

Cons: Café is not all vegan
