World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary and Monkey Park (often shortened to World of Birds) is an avian, reptilian and wildlife sanctuary in Hout Bay, a suburb of Cape Town in South Africa. As suggested by its name, the focus is primarily on birds and monkeys. It is the largest African bird park[1] and among the bird parks in the world with the higher number of species.[2]
