Abuko Nature Reserve

Abuko Nature Reserve

Certainly one of the Gambia's best bits, less than two square kilometers it preserves one of the last surviving examples of tropical riverine in the country. You can expect to see patas, vervet and western red colobus monkeys, as well as plenty of monitor lizards which dart across the path and claw their way through the undergrowth. With patience. Its normally also possible to spot crocodile. At the top of the circuit is the unprepossesissing Animal Orphanage. The excursions organized by tour operators, are to be avoided if you're keen to get the most from your visit: shouting guides and chattering crowds shatter the tranquility of the place
