Wolwekrans Eco Lodge is a natural habitat for baboons and monkeys. These animals have unfortunately learned to associate people with food and when units are left unattended with windows and doors open, they will attempt to enter and steal food. Human food can cause health problems for these animals because it is not part of their natural diet.

KEEP WINDOWS AND DOORS CLOSED & LOCKED
Should a baboon or monkey enter the unit, please do not provoke or corner it because it will probably feel threatened and may attack in self-defence. Leave a clear exit path for the animal to leave the unit, move towards it and command it in a stern voice to leave. If you scream, show your teeth or smile at the animal, it may interpret your actions as aggression.
