Baboons matter! and other Simon's Town, South Africa Off The Beaten Path Tips

There are plenty of Chacma baboons to be seen on the road to Cape Point, but it is not often that you would see them foraging and behaving naturally. It is far more likely you will see them when they try to steal your food, chew your windscreen wiper to get you to squirt them to get water, or raid the bins.

Baboons Matters take you on walks to some natural baboon troops, where they explain the pressure that these wild animals face as a result of urbanization. Using the money they raise, they monitor the troops and try to keep them out of the villages where they cause damage, raid houses, and are as a result exposed to damage themselves (shot, hit, etc.)
