5.00Well organised, on time etc. The guide was friendly and helpful. Don't expect 5 star luxury as this is Africa, but that's part of the experience.
Nice park, nice experience. A little more time in the park and also watching smaller animals (boar, monkey birds) would be nice!

Not worth the money

3.00Unfortunately we missed the ferry by minutes so the wait was an hour for the next one. There was lots to see on the ferry! The jeep on the other side was the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever travelled in. Safari was very disappointing with very few animals. Lunch was ok at a local cafe but we had to pay for our soft drinks. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful and was the best thing about the trip!
Baboucarr is a great tour guide!

A safari to remember

5.00Our guide, Babou Carr, is a legend in the Gambia safari world. It's a long day out to see the animals, but Babou made the day fun and enjoyable and I couldn't recommend a better person to take you on an adventure. In the park itself you can see rhino, zebra, antelope, giraffe and more. Would 100% recommend this tour
Worth the travel

5.00It is a long day, but definitely worth it. The whole trip gives you a look into Gambia and Senegal. Our guide and driver were there to help us always, and the drive around the park was a very nice experience. Very much enjoyed it all!
A sightseeing tour through the authentic life by car and boat in Gambia.

4.00That was a lot of money for just 1 h Safari. The safari itself was not so unique. Saw all the animals that were there but they say I was really lucky. But the trip from Banjul and by ”freight boat” over to the other side of Gambia + drive towards Senegal border was cool experience in itself. Seeing the authentic life. However, my tip is to find a private guide directly on site. There are a lot of idle people who can make the trip, just ask the hotel. You do not need to go through in this case TripAdvisor. There is a huge difference in money.
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.
Unique adventure

5.00This was a fantastic day out. Our guide Jaria and her brother picked me up early from hotel and drove us to Banjul port for ferry embarkation. Then we took 4x4 drive to reach park in Senegal . Then we had a guide from park to go around with very knowledgeable guy. Going around the park he pointed out everything for us . Then we continued through the park taking loads of photos of all the animal and specially Lion encountered. It all made for an unforgettable day. Highly recommended.
