  • River cruise & monkey park

    Here’s the updated review including the **sunset cruise** and the guide’s monkey-spotting skills: --- We absolutely loved the **Monkey Park and river cruise at Lamin Lodge**, including the beautiful **sunset cruise** – it was honestly one of the best things we have done. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide knew all the little tricks to help us see the monkeys and made the visit really fun and memorable. The trip was very well organised, and we felt safe and well looked after throughout. The scenery on the river cruise was stunning, especially at sunset, and it was such a peaceful and unforgettable experience. This was truly a highlight of our holiday and we would highly recommend it to anyone considering it!
