Discover the natural beauty and wildlife of The Gambia during a half-day visit to Abuko Nature Reserve, located approximately 14 miles from the pier.
Depart Banjul for an approximately 45-minute drive to the reserve. Upon arrival, meet your guide and receive an introduction to Abuko and the wildlife and plant life found within this protected area.
Then, set out on foot to explore the reserve. Follow nature trails through the tropical vegetation while your guide helps point out some of the area's birds and wildlife. Abuko is home to a wide variety of bird species, as well as monkeys and other native animals. Along the way, stop at a photo hide, where you can quietly watch for wildlife and capture photographs when conditions allow.
Continue to the reserve's animal orphanage and rehabilitation area, where you may see animals such as hyenas, baboons, and tortoises being cared for. Your guide will provide additional information about the animals and local conservation efforts.
After your visit to the animal orphanage, continue your walk through the reserve toward the exit, enjoying another opportunity to look for birds and wildlife along the way. Reboard your transportation for the approximately 50-minute drive back to the pier in Banjul.
