What an amazing time! We went on a private tour with our tour guide Annie. She was awesome! She is super informative and answered all of our, at times extensive, suggestions. The experience was beyond words. We were able to see so many animals up close and were able to physically interact with many of them. Annie knew all of the lemurs by name and was able to tell us about their personalities. The sloths were adorable. We didn't get to touch them (they don't love being pet anyway) but they made their way over to us and we saw them very up close! We had interactions with the cockatoo welcoming committee, lemurs, deer, and tortoises. I loved Einstein, the cotton top with the wild crazy hair! Thanks to Annie we avoided getting peed on by the marmosets! I'll never forget the feeling of having lemurs jump on me and lick my hand (did you know they have 2 tongues!). I was happy to find out that the soft tongue the lemur used meant he thought I tasted good.... the rough tongue would have meant he thought I needed a cleaning! The staff all around was super friendly and informative. It was wonderful knowing these animals went from small cages in private homes/ apartments into areas where they can move about freely inside and out in enriched environments. The only bummer is that Tracy, the sanctuary's 40 year old lemur.....40 YEARS OLD!... was sleeping and we could only see part of her. C'mon, she's 40...she can sleep if she wants to sleep!
