Abuko Nature Reserve

This is a half day excursion to the principal nature reserve in The Gambia, situated approximately 15 kilometres from the hotel resorts.

Abuko is neither a zoo or a game reserve but an area of 180 acres which places equal emphasis on the protection and conservation of nature as a whole.

It is a little bit of jungle in the middle of a savannah. A walk through the area takes approximately two and a half hours giving you a chance to see up to 250 species of birds plus crocodiles, monkeys and monitor lizards. There is an animal orphanage with enclosures for hyenas, antelopes and monkeys. There is also a cafe to grab a drink and relax before we return to the hotels.

Please do not touch or try and feed any animals.
