Since November 2008, Hamidi has been part of the Monkeyland family.

Before joining Monkeyland, Hamidi worked at zoos. A friend who was working at Monkeyland at the time encouraged him to come and work here โ€” and the rest became part of Monkeylandโ€™s story.

With a deep passion for animals, one of Hamidiโ€™s favourite parts of his work is educating visitors during the tours and helping them learn more about the monkeys who call Monkeyland home. Since all the monkeys at Monkeyland come from captivity, every tour is an opportunity to share their stories and help visitors understand more about these incredible animals.

Does Hamidi have a favourite monkey? Not at all. He loves them all.

One thing that surprises visitors the most is seeing different species of monkeys living together โ€” something that makes Monkeyland such a unique experience.

And if Hamidi had to describe Monkeyland in just three words?

๐—•๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—–๐—˜ ๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ.

After all these years, itโ€™s clear that Monkeyland is more than just a workplace for Hamidi โ€” itโ€™s a place he is truly passionate about.

Oh, and one more thing you might not know about Hamidi: he only drinks one cup of coffee a dayโ€ฆ and no tea!
