Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary — Attraction in Bono East Region

We really enjoyed our stay at the monkey sanctuary. But be careful with feeding the monkeys!! The accomodation was really nice and the cooking lady asks what you want to eat and prepares it for you.

In the beginning we couldn‘t find a lot of monkeys but in the end there were so many. Unluckily, my friend got bitten by a monkey while feeding them. What the guide did tell us only in the end was that there were two different families and we were standing on the border of the two territories, so they were fighting against each other for the 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...
