Diani Columbus Conservation centre is an information centre, primate rescue facility and home for Colobus Conservation volunteers since August 1997. It is also home to a habituated troop of colobus monkeys making it an ideal site for ecological and behavioral studies or to just come and watch. Other primates you will likely see are the vervets, sykes and baboons.
This guided primate Eco-tour in Diani Beach entails a guided walk along the nature trail for a personal introduction to a wild colobus troop and other wild monkeys – vervets, sykes and baboons – depending on who is about. This is followed by a talk in the information centre where a series of posters help further to visualize the ongoing conservation activities. As an active conservation centre visitors are likely to see volunteers and staff at work, building bridges, caring for injured monkeys or doing research. This is a half day tour which can be undertaken either in the morning or in the afternoon.
