I saw them on display in the upper level of the old jaguar exhibit in January 2023, and @jayjds2 more recently confirmed that they are now on display in the giant anteater exhibit.
Snowleopard's Mammals: A Lifetime List of Species Mammalian and Non-Mammalian

Happy to be wrong on this one! Interesting that they are moving them around so much.
Since when did USDA list sakis under Santa Fe?
When I visited Cologne Zoo in 1982, the Saki and Uakari House included monk, white-nosed bearded and red-backed sakis and red, white and Neblina uakaris.
Thank you for making this thread @snowleopard and for devoting so much of your time and effort to it 
! Please consider this post as a big like for your numerous posts on this thread!
I have only been to a fraction of the zoos you have, yet I couldn't make these sorts of lists. There are some rare species that I should feel privileged to have seen or even gotten the opportunity to see, but have unfortunately forgotten. Reading this thread makes me want to take better notes of my visits to other zoos!

I have seen De Brazza's Monkeys in 28 zoos, a respectable total compared to other primates that I've come across. I've mainly seen this species in large, AZA-accredited zoos and, in my experience, almost zero roadside menageries have had this type of monkey. Other than 1 zoo in Australia, 1 zoo in Canada, 1 in the Netherlands, 1 in Germany and 1 in Denmark, all the rest of the locations have been in the United States.
De Brazza's Monkeys are difficult to miss when looking into a zoo exhibit, but going back through my collection of 3,000 paper zoo maps, 36,000 photos and my 551 different zoos and aquariums, it is feasible and perfectly normal that occasionally I will miss including a zoo where I've seen a species. That's not surprising considering I've probably had 1,000 zoo visits and at this point it's a mammoth task compiling a species list. If I accidentally omit a species in the future, especially with smaller, more secretive creatures that like to hide in the undergrowth, then I'll make edits to my lists. It's no problem at all.
I've received a ton of supportive messages about this thread and it's much appreciated. However, I do want to bring clarity to my posts. It's still very much a thread about my lifetime list of species and I estimate that in 95% of the cases I have seen the animals with my own eyes. In this example today, it's difficult to miss a 15-pound, male De Brazza's Monkey and that goes for almost all the mammals I've discussed in hundreds of posts. But, there have been times in the past, many years ago, when I didn't take as many photos and type out such detailed, extensive reviews. So, in some ways this thread has morphed into a list of mammals that were kept in zoos during specific eras. That is truly fascinating and I'm okay with the thread becoming a part of the historical zoological record that's more than just me personally seeing a mammal. It's now about the bigger picture and how species have increased or decreased in zoos over time.
Did I actually see De Brazza's Monkeys at all 28 zoos? Absolutely yes. But, later on, when I get around to posting about Cotton-top Tamarins, did I really see that tiny species at some obscure roadside zoo a decade ago? Almost certainly yes, but it's possible that the animals were sleeping in their nesting box or procreating out of my view. How the heck could anyone remember?
These are the 28 zoos where I've seen these gorgeous monkeys, with their orange patches on their heads and white goatees. Is a De Brazza Monkey a mini version of Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White?

The first time I remember ever seeing De Brazza's Monkeys was at Woodland Park Zoo (USA) in Seattle. They weren't there long, however, as those primates would frequently escape from their island home and the zoo quit the species altogether. Those two lush habitats near the Gorillas have been home to Colobus Monkeys and a variety of lemurs ever since.
Not all zoos have kept De Brazza's Monkeys in the best accommodation, even famous AZA-accredited establishments. Oregon Zoo (USA) had De Brazza's Monkeys in a well-furnished but unsightly cage in the zoo's African zone. Here's a photo from 2010:
Here's a photo I took of the species at San Diego Zoo (USA) in 2011, in one of those corn-crib cages (near Sun Bear Forest) that every zoo nerd rolls their eyes at.
But, of course, I've seen some great exhibits for De Brazza's Monkeys on my travels. That primate mecca, regularly having 20+ species, known as Denver Zoo (USA), had this lush habitat in 2012:
A memorable sighting of a De Brazza's Monkey was when I was at ZooParc Overloon (Netherlands) in 2019. Watching the Giraffes and Zebu against a backdrop of trees, suddenly I saw a De Brazza's Monkey run across the field. Wow! That's a bizarre mixed-species exhibit.

@KevinB
Here's a non-AZA-accredited place. Hattiesburg Zoo (USA) in Mississippi, had De Brazza's Monkeys with Blue Duikers in 2012:
Typically, I've found De Brazza's Monkeys to be inside an enclosed space, as they can be prone to escapes. I'm waiting for the day when one of them rides a giraffe out of that paddock in the Dutch countryside!
Usually, the species is kept in wood-and-wire cages such as this one at Tanganyika Wildlife Park (USA):
Here's another example. This exhibit was just built in the last few years at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park (USA) in Arizona:
Erlebnis Zoo Hannover (Germany) had De Brazza's Monkeys mixed with Drills when I was there in 2019. I seem to recall that it was in a fairly new exhibit at the time, and it would be interesting to know if the mixture of species still exists 5 years down the road.

Considering their prominence compared to other guenons such as diana, Hamlyn’s, and the green monkey complex I am baffled that De Brazza monkeys barely reached to thirty holders in your journey.
Also is the Wildlife World Zoo nit listed because you didn’t see the species during your visit?

Wildlife World Zoo is listed, but I place the zoos in order from the first time I've seen a species there. I visited that Arizona zoo in 2011 and saw De Brazza's Monkeys then, plus I saw them again in 2023 in a different exhibit.
Similarly, I've been to San Diego Zoo on 8 occasions, and the very first time I saw De Brazza's Monkeys there was in 2006. That's what makes these lists even more detailed, as not only am I listing the mammals being held at these zoos, but also I have to track down dates of the first time seeing each species.
DeBrazza's is another species that has been working its way into the roadside zoos in the last few years, probably via Tanganyika and Wildlife World.

Debrazza's are probably the Old World monkey I've seen most often. Granted, I've seen Guereza in more zoos, however my hometown zoo, Capron Park, acquired Debrazza's monkeys in 2011, indirectly replacing ocelots (in total Capron fashion, it was a replacement that included moving around multiple animals already in the collection to different exhibits). What's sad though is how rare guenons are broadly- Debrazza's is one of, if not the most popular, guenon in the AZA, and yet there are still less than twenty holders. I can't help but wonder how much different the status of guenons in the AZA would be if zoos were more willing to create mixed-species exhibits with the ever so popular gorillas and Guerezas, or in the case of the latter holding a guenon species instead.I have seen De Brazza's Monkeys in 28 zoos, a respectable total compared to other primates that I've come across. I've mainly seen this species in large, AZA-accredited zoos and, in my experience, almost zero roadside menageries have had this type of monkey.

De Brazza's Monkeys are difficult to miss when looking into a zoo exhibit, but going back through my collection of 3,000 paper zoo maps, 36,000 photos and my 551 different zoos and aquariums, it is feasible and perfectly normal that occasionally I will miss including a zoo where I've seen a species.

Guenons are a really fascinating bunch of species- especially from an evolutionary perspective (high diversity of similar species often capable of hybridizing, and oftentimes with overlapping ranges, as a result of relatively recent adaptive radiation due to the shrinking of rainforest "refugia" during the last ice age). Interestingly, one of the biggest distinguishing features between different guenon species are their unique faces- as I'm sure anyone who has seen multiple guenon species can tell you. Are there any zoos that display multiple guenon species near each other? If so, that could be a good angle for interesting interpretive messaging.
I believe Japan Monkey Center does, being a stamp collection that has the reputation of being the largest primate collection, JMC is bound to have multiple guenons together. Based in @aardvark250 ’s photos from 2018 four (DeBrazza, moustached, red-tailed, lesser spot nosed) species of guenons (and that’s not counting the patas, green monkey, and talapoin.)

Bronx used to with the DeBrazza’s monkeys (mixed with Mandrills and Red River Hogs) next to the exhibit for the Wolf’s Guenon. Unfortunately the DeBrazzas are long gone from the zoo and they never took the opportunity to make an educational display with the 2 guenons
Lots of great responses! It's a pity that there's less than 20 holdings of De Brazza's Monkeys in AZA zoos. Hopefully there's a decent breeding record at some of those facilities to sustain the population. In the future, I expect more non-accredited zoos will begin to hold the species, as that seems to be the case with many captive primates in North America.
I was really surprised to visit 120 different zoos and aquariums in Europe and only find 3 with the species, but Zootierliste does list a number of European countries with these primates that I've never been to. If it's accurate, that site lists 12 zoos in Russia, 9 in Spain and 7 in the U.K. as nations with the highest number of zoos with De Brazza's Monkeys.

Shoot I forgot to finish the last part but I meant to say four species of guenons near each other.
I was just at KC Zoo near Halloween in 2023 and it does still exist with all species intact!
I've always been partial to Wolf's Mona Monkeys, also called Wolf's Guenons, as there is something beautiful about the splash of orange on their hair. Yesterday, I posted about seeing De Brazza's Monkeys in 28 zoos, but I've only seen Wolf's Mona Monkeys in less than half of that total and therefore it's only 12 zoos for today's primate species. All 12 are AZA-accredited, famous American zoos. I've never once seen this species in a roadside collection and never once at 120 European zoos.

San Diego Zoo (USA) was the first place I ever came across Wolf's Mona Monkeys and I love seeing them there on repeat visits to that California zoo.
Here's a real gem of a photo. Notice the orange tufted ears. These inquisitive monkeys have shared their space with Pygmy Hippos (and occasionally other primate species) for as long as I can remember in San Diego.

Here is an image from the rear side of the exhibit, high up on the canopy boardwalk:
And here's a view of the exhibit in a different area, from ground floor:

@Ituri
Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium (USA) has also long had a Wolf's Mona Monkey/Pygmy Hippo mixed-species combination inside the huge Lied Jungle complex. Some zoo nerds have posted photos that also include either Diana Monkeys or Black Howler Monkeys in with the Wolf's Mona Monkeys in recent years.
@Moebelle
Wolf's Mona Monkeys have been held at the Bronx Zoo (USA) for many years, inside the Congo Gorilla Forest complex.
@Andrew_NZP
If you look closely, there are a couple of Wolf's Mona Monkeys in this photo. Also, the signage at the Bronx Zoo is excellent, with photos of 8 other guenon species seen in this image.

Zoo Atlanta (USA) has had a lot of breeding success with Wolf's Mona Monkeys and the zoo still maintains the species as of this year.
@Austin the Sengi
They share their exhibit space with Drills.
@AndyJ08
Sacramento Zoo (USA) had Wolf's Mona Monkeys in 2017 and they are the last 'new' zoo where I've seen the species. Other than repeat visits to San Diego and and Omaha, I've never seen the species again and their complete absence from my European zoo trips is remarkable.

This species is no longer mixed with anything else at Omaha, they are in their own small little enclosure. The exhibit you show there is home to Black Howlers now. Pygmy Hippos are now also in a different enclosure.I've always been partial to Wolf's Mona Monkeys, also called Wolf's Guenons, as there is something beautiful about the splash of orange on their hair. Yesterday, I posted about seeing De Brazza's Monkeys in 28 zoos, but I've only seen Wolf's Mona Monkeys in less than half of that total and therefore it's only 12 zoos for today's primate species.

Last time I checked they also had Diana and Blue Monkeys in that exhibit. It’s a little hard to tell though because the exhibit is covered in a black tarp.
That's great information, @birdsandbats and @Dhole dude as Omaha has certainly switched around a lot of species over the years. I always saw numerous mixed-species primate exhibits at that zoo during my visits, but Lied Jungle is not as consistent as it used to be. Now, it can be a surprise as to what someone would see if they hadn't visited in a few years. That's exciting if they still have Blue Monkeys, one of my all-time favourite species and a real rarity these days.
Interesting. I last visited a few years ago of course but at the time Wolf's Guenon was the only species signed for that enclosure.
