Eastern Black and White Colobus Monkey
Colobus guereza
Branch to branch champions
Meet our colobus monkeys, the Estate's star gymnasts since 2018! These incredible animals can launch themselves up to six metres through the canopy in a single bound, thanks to their unusually long back legs that work like powerful springs.
Watch them bounce on branches to build momentum before taking off in spectacular fashion. Spot our cheeky troop on the Boat Safari.
Built for the canopy
These remarkable primates are perfectly designed for life in the treetops. Their long, flowing fur and tails act like natural parachutes as they leap through the forest, while their tails provide essential balance during those spectacular jumps.
