The Bush Bush Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at the south-western region of the Nariva Swamp, and is home to more than 200 species of birds and animals. The Sanctuary sits on Bush Bush Island – an area of high ground that is approximately 3 meters about the swamp that is bordered by palms and covered in hardwood and silk cotton trees. Here, red howler monkeys are often seen swinging between the hardwood and huge silk cotton trees which also serve as the nesting place for colourful parrots, the red-bellied macaw and an array of beautiful butterflies.
Nariva Swamp and is home to Red Howler and Capuchin Monkeys. These amazing primates are easiest seen in when hiking in the Bush Bush area. Hiking along a flat trail into Bush Bush one can access the Monkey viewing area. The Howlers can be found among the branches of the larger tress.
