In the sprawling savanna woodlands of the reserve, green monkeys bring life and energy to the treetops. Known for their golden-green fur and expressive faces, these highly social primates live in troops that can number up to 50 members. The reserve offers them the perfect environment: abundant food, tall trees for shelter, and protection from predators.

A typical day for the green monkey begins with foraging. They scurry across the canopy in search of fruits, leaves, and insects. Their sharp intelligence is evident as they navigate the environment, using alarm calls to warn each other of danger. Green monkeys are also known for their playful behavior, with juveniles engaging in mock fights and games that help them develop vital survival skills.

Visitors to the reserve often find themselves captivated by the monkeys’ antics, from their daring tree leaps to their curious gazes. The reserve’s role in protecting these primates extends beyond ensuring their safety; it also contributes to ecological balance. Green monkeys disperse seeds through their diet, aiding in the growth of new plants and trees.
