Meet Our Amazing Animal Friends

At Butterfly World, we are home to more than just butterflies! Come and meet our playful meerkats and their diverse group of friends, including the smallest monkeys in the world, vibrant birds, and other interesting creatures.

Each species has its own unique story and role within our park, offering you a chance to explore the animal kingdom up close.

Our mischievous meerkats are always on the lookout, standing tall on their hind legs to scout the area for potential dangers and guard over their family.

In the wild, meerkats live in the deserts of southern Africa, but at Butterfly World, they have a special habitat designed to mimic their natural environment. You’ll get to see them digging, playing, and interacting with one another.
