A nice experience with the monkeys. Though the place is nice, the route is not good. The monkeys were full, due to the tourists there prior to our arrival which was a weekend. I must recommend you go there on a weekday to have a full experience with the monkeys.

Here I learned about the mona monkeys which are very friendly than the black and white colobos, hope I got that spelling right. Reason being that the mona monkeys feed on anything like the regular monkeys bananas and the likes, while the black and white colobos are quite different with food.

Our visit to the Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary was a truly worthwhile experience, despite the deplorable condition of the road leading to the main tourist attraction. If you have access to a four-wheel drive vehicle, it’s advisable to use it for the journey. The friendly Mona monkeys are a delightful encounter, and with a stroke of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of black and white colobus monkeys. Our tour guide was not only friendly but also well-versed in the history of the tourist site and the town in general.
