The chacma baboon is from the Old World monkey family. It is one of the largest of all monkeys and can be seen in abundance across the African continent. Baboons are not listed as threatened or endangered. However, populations within the Cape Peninsula are considered to be potentially threatened and are highly monitored.
Baboons are opportunistic omnivores: they can feed on roots, fruit, seeds, small vertebrates, scorpions, birds, and seashore life among other things.
94% of genetic similarity has been found between both humans and baboons.
The chacma baboons are mostly found in troops of 10 to 500 individuals.

A game drive in Mkhuze Game Reserve offers an immersive journey through diverse landscapes, where every turn reveals new wildlife and moments of quiet discovery. Elephants and antelope move through the bush, giraffes feed among the treetops, and the reserve’s rich habitats create constant opportunities for sightings both big and small. It is also a true paradise for birdwatching, with an impressive variety of species filling the air and the canopy — vibrant rollers, storks, hornbills, and countless smaller birds adding color and movement throughout the experience. From waterbirds gathered at pans to raptors circling overhead, the birdlife brings an extra layer of energy and detail to the safari, making every drive feel alive with sound, motion, and natural rhythm.
