Please take note that wild animals frequently roam around. While we do have an electric fence, an internal and external alarm system, and burglar bars on the windows; we have had instances where animals still manage to walk into the property. So please be aware and vigilant. The alarm system is remote activated. Our staff will show you how to work it and will remind you every evening to set it before you turn in for the night. It is important to lock all doors and windows at night and during the day if you are out or downstairs as baboons tend to be very curious! Please be respectful of the area and the animals who live there.
