Photo albums | Brong Ahafo Region - Baobeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary ( 38 images)

Baobeng and Fiema are two small villages that profit from the Monkey Sanctuary. Two species of monkey (the Mona and the Black and White Colobus) live among the villagers and are treated – and even buried – as humans. The Monkey Sanctuary is set up as a community based eco site. There is a pleasant lodge/guesthouse, with its own borehole for water, serving outstanding daily meals. You can take a walk with a ranger through the beautiful forest of huge trees to see the monkeys in their protected habitat.

“ I travelled with Apollo for two weeks throughout Ghana, Togo, and Benin. I had the freedom to go where I wanted, when I wanted, as fast as I wanted, and change plans daily, all with the security of a knowledgeable guide.

Through Apollo’s professionalism, excellent conversation, courtesy, open mindedness, tolerance and enthusiasm I was able to learn and live Africa more so than many of my other trips combined. Africa is no longer a distant place on a map, or a show on T.V. but many faces, smiles, songs, smells, colors and friends to me. Travel needs to be experienced in this way.

The world needs more Apollo’s to bring us all a little closer together, understand each other better, break barriers and live and breathe a country that is not our own. Thank you for the fantastic memories, daily experiences, conversation, trust, comfort, laughs and friendship.

Can’t think of anything I would have changed. ”
