About Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary

We are located in the lovely Brecon Beacons National Park area of South Wales. The Sanctuary has been officially designated as a Geopark because of its unique geological formations. Formerly a traditional farm, the sanctuary now rescues and provides a home for many types of unwanted animals, especially primates, such as chimpanzees, baboons, spider monkeys, capuchins and marmosets.
Visitors are welcome to see the animals and the work we do. We undertake a number of rescues from zoos and laboratories where animals have suffered mistreatment and deprivation or are no longer wanted. As they are not equipped for survival in the wild we can only endeavour to make the rest of their lives as enjoyable and stress free as possible.

Bili is a chimpanzee we rescued from a travelling circus in Bulgaria. He is 42 years old & he's eating dried apricots in the picture.
