About Apenheul

Self-willed and innovative

With these characteristics Apenheul took off with primates at large in 1971. Soon to be followed by great apes living on cleverly designed islands. Revolutionary for man and animals. Visitors who can meet the primates in a surprising way, living in a natural environment where they can be themselves.

The primates at Apenheul are the ambassadors for their wild relatives. This way we try to pass on the love of nature.

Apenheul is a foundation. We are non-subsidized and for our income we are completely dependant on our visitors.
