From fat times to monkey business, Fat Monkeys is a everyone's favourite destination that offers something for everyone, family, and friends.

Fat Monkeys is situated in the heart of Cape Maclear. The lodge originated in 1998 by three fat guys over a beer, hence the name !! It was originally a bar, which developed into a lodge offering accommodation, and offering activities.
