Kachikally Crocodile Pool
The Kachikally Crocodile Pool is one of three sacred crocodile pools in the Gambia. The crocodile is a symbol of fertility and the sacred sites are still used for rituals by women who find difficulties getting pregnant. The legend of crocodiles bringing fertility to women dates back 500 years when the Bojang family first settled in the area. It’s said that the fertility spirit rewarded their kindness by providing them with a magic pool. All they had to do was populate it with wildlife. So, they put two crocodiles in the pool. Locals believe that the original two are ancestral to the crocodiles who inhabit it today. Kachikally crocodile pool is nestled within six acres of tropical forest and there are plenty of nature trails and footpaths to follow if you want to see more of the park.
Brikama Craft Market
Brikama is the second largest city after Serekunda and the Brikama woodcarving factory is the largest woodcarving factory in the Gambia. Approximately 200 woodcarvers sell their creations here and you can find various items made from different woodtypes.

Absolutely amazing experience. Jimmy is a wonderful guide and is extremely helpful in answering questions. The crocodiles are a lot of fun and the boat tour is relaxing. The market can be a little overwhelming but Jimmy did a great job navigating it. Highly recommend.

Jimmy, our guide was great, good English and informative. The actual tour was so so. The Arch was interesting and we had enough time there. Two of the ship tours stopped by while we were there and they only had time for photos from street level whereas we were on the top level. The crocodile farm was really good, we actually strolled around them and even stroked them. The river cruise was a total waste of time and the market was mediocre.
