The Dutch word for baboon, "baviaan", gave the area its name.

These animals used to be far more prosperous in the area but today are protected.
Mature male baboons can weigh up to 40 kg, more than double the mass of the females which average only 17 kg, and live for about 45 years.
These animals are very vocal and you'll be made aware of them as you run past, by the sound of their loud bark.
