'The cache is located close to a small, unique restaurant, which offers a unique dining experience, and is run by Brian and Isabel who also own the guesthouse next door. Open only on selected days for themed evenings and private functions, it has become a popular venue enjoyed by locals and tourists alike since it opened in November 2013. The restaurant is named after the Samango Monkeys which are endemic to the area. Although the restaurant is not open every day, access to the cache is available at any time. The owners are aware of the cache and welcome eager explorers on the hunt for a 'Found It!'. Retrieving the cache while muggles are eating at the restaurant could be tricky so use caution.
The cache is in a margarine container and contains a logbook, pencil and a few tradeable items.
About the Samango Monkeys:
Habitat loss and fragmentation is the single greatest threat to primate populations worldwide, with nearly half of all species listed as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered.
The Samango monkey (Cercopithecus mitis) is widely distributed along the eastern side of southern Africa. The monkeys are endemic to South Africa and distribution is restricted to small patches of Afromontane forest along the escarpments of the Eastern Cape, Kwazulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.
Samango monkeys are mainly arboreal and rarely spend much time on the ground. They normally occur in troups of between 10 and 40 individuals, made up of a single breeding male, several adult females and their offspring. Research suggests that these animals do not disperse from their restricted forest patches and that their future survival as a species is far from certain. They are therefore currently listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
