What a experience! I never thought i could be so near them and still feel save. we had the luck of seen the red monkey near us. My daughter love it, she was playing and feeding the monkey's as if is not the first time. The place is very natural environment and well preserved, our guide was 5*. Is a must visit place for sure in Gambia.
Really great place to get in touch with nature. Make sure you go early in the morning 8.30 - 9am as its breakfast time and you will see a good amount. Dont forget your peanuts
Good for those only who don't want to leave Senegambia area at all. Apart from the monkeys the park is literally ugly. There is nothing interesting and guides are almost begging you to hire them while they are unnecessary at all. It's overpriced as well. For family of 4 I recommend taking a taxi and going to Abuko Reserve. You will pay less and . The last time I was there admission price was 35 dalasi (to Abuko). It's much more interesting and you can nature and animals (including monkeys) there.
Bring peanuts. Lots of peanuts. Monkeys love them. Don't be scared, when monkeys approach you with they their hand up in the air. They just want PEANUTS!
I had a wonderful time when it was there. It has now been bulldozed by the Chinese to build a conference centre that will not be used.
That place is not existing. All three are cut off and China company build conference centre.
Fantastic experience, try and take a guide with you from your hotel as they will be more than willing!!! You know you want that monkey on your shoulder!
Terrible what the former president did to The park
A nice simple place to wonder round, great to see the monkeys up close.
Its a must if you visit Gambia
Monkey PARK
Interacting with the monkeys is really a fun. Try to hold tide on your cameras as they have the ability of snatching it away. Dont forget to come with peanuts. The monkeys like it.
nice place
Sadly they are building a hotel.
Interesting park, shame there was so much rubbish
