Kenya has got a number of primates such as the Black and White Colobus guereza also known as the Guereza is a very distinctive and beautiful monkey with its jet black coat and flowing white mantle. These primates live mostly in the forest canopy and are difficult to get they are mostly seen in fleeting glimpses as they move through the tops of trees/branches of trees. Some primates can be spoted on Mount Kenya as the local troop occasionally comes through the forest to the main land. Another primate type which Kenya poses is the Vervet, baboons which are familiar to anyone who has visited one of Kenya's National Parks or Reserves. They are fearless, cheeky, and intelligent. They are adept at forming raiding parties near restaurants and have Vervet made a dash through grabbing bananas, mangoes, sugar cubes .... and just about anything they can lay their hands on. They climb well, are agile and very quick. Many lodges have taken to employing local marksmen armed with sling-shots whose job it is to scare off any Vervet that comes close to the diners. Monkeys can't be blamed for their behavior; countless tourists have encouraged them to come close by offering sweets or fruit. But be warned, the Vervet's preferred way of handling this situation is to bite the hand that feeds them

Nother interesting primate in Kenya is the Sykes Monkey, Cercopithecus albogularis mitis are known as the White-throated Guenon. These are forest monkeys which live and travel in family groups with up to a dozen and more members.
