    To truly appreciate pandrillius efforts....go to afi drill ranch in Afi.....its amazing....you get to watch the animals feed. I slept and woke up to the sounds of drills and other forest animals....there is no electricity except in the kitchen area....and no network reception. However.....it gives you the opportunity to communicate with your friends and meet new people I went hiking in the forest....really amazing....we cooked our own meals and dinner is always a wonderful affair with evwione contributing something... Its nt a hotel but the experience will stay with you

    This is the project HQ located in Calabar. There are a few Drills and some Sclatter's Geunons(type of monkey). The main site is located in Afi Mountain reserve. It was interesting speaking to Zach there. The place does need a bit of funding. It would be nice for the Local, state and Federal govts and private organisations to support their work. They have one of the most successful breeding programs for primates in the world. They are doing great work. Donate if you can

    Very interesting experience, the different type of monkeys to see. Support is also needed as it's not easy to run the place and it's free to visit.

    A breading and conservation place for drill monkeys. Founded and directed by Peter Jenkins and Liza Gadsby. They also have chimpanzees and Most of the animals you find here are endangered species that require protection against extinction.

    This place was nice and wonderful. They treat the animals right and have proper services for the primates but need more funding for efficient functionality

    This is the Drill Rehab and Breeding Centre, otherwise called Drill Ranch in Calabar, Cross River State, the drill monkey and other animals are given a habitat to make sure they don’t go extinct in an artificial forest in a quiet neighbourhood in the heart of Calabar. In this make-believe habitat for endangered species of animals are Tropical Rainforest Drill Monkeys, Chimpanzees and a handful of other smaller, crawling animals and assorted birds. In this ranch, there is a bungalow which serves as an administrative block for the several White volunteers, some of them from Canada. There is also a forest Land Rover jeep with an American flag hoisted on it, to show its American influence. Much human activity is not pronounced except for the stream of visitors who come singly, in twos and in groups every now and again from distant places. There are drill groups, each in their own electric fenced enclosure, powered by solar energy systems. The enclosures can be reached down different winding paths through the forest; the largest enclosure perimeter is nearly a kilometer around. The Drill Ranch also provides a lifelong home for orphan chimpanzees, and the busy chimpanzee group can be seen in their forest enclosure. Chimpanzees can be excitable and great care must be taken near their enclosure: all visitors are accompanied by a staff member when visiting the chimpanzees and comply with their instructions for their own security and that of the animals.

    The Drill ranch is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving endangered animal species especially primates. Liza is a great host who is passionate about preserving animal diversity in their natural habitat. They have the drill monkey, long tail monkey and one chimpanzee. This location only houses a few animals for educational purposes. 95% of them are in Boki, Cross River.
