Monkey Island in Liberia is a unique sanctuary for 66 chimpanzees that were once used in hepatitis research. Abandoned in 2005, these chimpanzees are now cared for by Humane Society International. While direct visits to the island are discouraged to avoid disturbing the chimps, travelers can take canoe trips from nearby towns to observe them from a distance.

    really nice place, lots of great views and lots of great monkeys! I shared a banana one evening with an incredibly well spoken and charming monkey, he told me he enjoyed the company and we even shared a pineapple when I had to leave, miss you Henry!

    tried to feed some sandwiches to the monkeys and the tour told me that "theyre agressive and will kill me if i get close". horrible management, id like to talk to the chieftain or else they will lose a VERY loyal customer.
