点评:visited Colobus Conservation in Diani and found it to be a meaningful and eye-opening experience. The centre is open Monday to Saturday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with guided eco-tours usually running until around 4:30 PM.
The organisation is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the endangered Angolan colobus monkey and conserving the coastal forest. During the guided tour, we walked through the forest, learned about their rescue and rehabilitation work, and saw monkeys in a semi-wild environment. I particularly appreciated hearing about their creative solutions like “colobridges” that allow monkeys to safely cross roads, as well as their reforestation and community education projects.
The place is not a zoo — it’s a genuine conservation centre, so don’t expect polished enclosures or fancy displays. Instead, you get an authentic glimpse into the challenges and successes of wildlife protection. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly passionate about their mission.
Practical tips: visit in the morning or late afternoon when it’s cooler and the animals are more active, wear comfortable shoes, bring water, sun protection, and mosquito repellent.
Overall, this is a worthwhile stop in Diani for anyone who cares about wildlife, conservation, and making travel more meaningful

该组织是一个非营利组织,致力于保护濒危的安哥拉疣猴和沿海森林。在导览游期间,我们漫步森林,了解了他们的救援和康复工作,并看到了半野生环境中的猴子。我尤其欣赏他们提出的一些富有创意的解决方案,例如让猴子安全过马路的“疣猴桥”,以及他们的重新造林和社区教育项目。
这里不是动物园——而是一个真正的保护中心,所以不要期待华丽的围栏或花哨的展览。相反,您可以真实地了解野生动物保护的挑战和成功。工作人员知识渊博,显然对他们的使命充满热情。
实用小贴士:建议在清晨或傍晚前往,因为那时天气凉爽,动物也更活跃。请穿着舒适的鞋子,并携带饮用水、防晒霜和驱蚊剂。
总而言之,对于任何关心野生动物、保护自然、希望让旅行更有意义的人而言,迪亚尼国家公园都是一个值得一游的地方。
