The experience

The tour picks you up from your hotel at 8am and heads straight to the Crocodile Pool, where over 100 crocodiles rest in a natural setting alongside a cultural museum. From there you move to the Monkey Park by Kololi Beach, where the Red Colobus and Green Vervet monkeys are accustomed to visitors and you can hand-feed them directly. After lunch on the beach and two hours of free swimming time, the route takes you to Tanji, Gambia's largest fishing center, where you walk through the vibrant fish market and watch the boats return at sunset.

Day two begins with breakfast at Rainbow Beach Resort in Sanyang, where you have a free morning to swim or rest before heading to Fatou's, a local restaurant run by a woman known for her resilience and story. The final stop is the Reptile Farm to see native Gambian species before the guide drops you at your preferred location. Dinner on day one and breakfast on day two are included. The overnight stay is at Rainbow Beach Resort on Sanyang Beach.
