In Amdallai, you will cross the Gambian border to enter Senegal. It is important to note that to cross the border from The Gambia to Senegal, you will need a valid passport with at least six months remaining before expiration.

Walking with the Lions

5.00It was one in a life time experience. The Lion walk was unbelievable. The guides were very helpful and welcoming. Our driver patiently drove round for a long time to find the giraffes and we were not disappointed. Baboucarr Jobe our tour guide from The Gambia was very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Do it.

5.00Wear a jumper on the ferry and take some pencils/writing books and sugar free sweets for the kids on the journey. Baboucarr is a chilled out friendly fella who made it a great experience, our 4x4 driver, forgotten his name sorry, was also great and got us through the border crossings smoothly.
A great day out with a fabulous guide.

5.00Babou Carr our guide was simply excellent throughout the day. He made joining the ferry simple through the throng of humanity going about its daily business. We then met a good driver for the journey to and around the park. We had a great view of the animals. It’s useful to see this as a UK ‘Safari Park’, but with a more natural setting and weather. Most of the big game animals are not (now) native to Senegal, but they are well protected. Lunch was in a local restaurant and introduced us to local dishes The drive each way gave us a glimpse of rural life in both countries. On return, the ferry was out of action, so our guide organised a private pirogue trip for a few Dalasi a head rather than a 6-hour wait. I still pity the chap who had to wade out to the boat with me on his shoulders! This unintended excursion from the plan really added to the day. Mist thoroughly recommended.
Book and go 😊

5.00Baboucarr our Guide was amazing from start to finish. Incredibly professional, he looked after us from start to finish. On the trip you get to experience real Gambia with the locals getting the ferry across to Barra before you meet your safari driver. Everyone was super friendly. Fathala was great we saw all the animals & luckily we’re the first to find the giraffes as they can be shy. We didn’t want to go in with the lions our personal choice. Had a great day. On the way back you stop for lunch we had the local dish domada (peanut stew) but there are lots of choices. Before heading back on the ferry back to Banjul. (Get to see the market in Senegal & Banjul) I would suggest to bring sweets, pencils, note pads for the children, as they will love it & are so grateful. A fabulous day
