A VOICE FOR BABOONS
For more than 25 years Baboon Matters has been at the forefront of baboon conservation – in the face of ever-increasing urbanization and intensive agriculture, and the resulting escalation in baboon/human conflict.
“Baboons could not, surely, have a more passionate advocate. Baboon Matters is doing so much to help both baboons and people.”
– Jane Goodall

What to do if a baboon enters your home?
Stay calm! He will not hurt you unless he feels threatened or cornered.
Make sure he has an exit route like an open window or door.
If you have dogs, lock them out of the way.
About Walking Tours
Although a change in policy by the City of Cape Town resulted in our Walking Tours with Baboons being stopped in 2011, we still get regular requests for these tours. Our Walks were incredibly popular, and many hundreds of people developed a deeper appreciation for baboons as a result, but we are unfortunately not allowed to offer them anymore.
