best places to visit in the gambia
Banjul
Banjul, officially the City of Banjul, is the capital and fourth-largest city of Gambia. It is a port city, located on Saint Mary’s Island, and is Gambia’s most densely populated metropolitan area.
For whatever reason, many tourists don’t give Banjul a second glance. But with the busy harbor, rich history, colonial architecture, and urban market, there is plenty to love about the city. Visitors can enjoy the street hawkers from Senegal and Guinea and the shopkeepers packed into old colonial trading housing. When you pay attention to the beautiful contradictions of this city, you will likely notice the chaotic vibrancy of the commercial district and appreciate the rich culture of Gambia.
Bijilo Forest Park
Bijilo Forest Park, often known as Monkey Park, is a forest park in the Gambia, lying in the coastal zone about 11 km west of Banjul. The park consists mainly of closed-canopy forest with a significant number of Borassus aethiopum palms.
Bijilo is a point of pride for nearby locals. The trails here are well maintained and take you through incredibly lush flora, a gallery forest, grass, and low bushes, on your way to the dunes. The three primate species are the red colobus, vervet, and patas. Bird lovers will love it here as there are more than 100 species found in the park including osprey, bee-eaters, and francolin.
