Trip Itinerary
1
Kotu
Day 1-2
kotu is one of the best sunny cities out here, it is the best well-known touristic place in The Gambia. The city has crazy nightlife, beaches and also culture and beautiful weather. We will stay in the hotel for 2 days just to get to know each other and hang out before we start our day-to-day trips, so we will be in the hotel for 2 days just chilling and enjoying the pool, remember we all have a private pool. In the next two days, we will explore Banjul which is the capital of The Gambia. We can also have a beach day to enjoy that beautiful weather in Kotu and the Senegambia area.⛱

Tanji Fishing Center
Day 2
From the Tanji museum, we will go to the fish market which is just by the beach, and it's just a stone throw away from the museum. Tanji fish market is Colorful pirogues roll in the waves, women ferry fish elegantly to shore atop their heads, and crowds swarm the beachfront at this charismatic fish market. On show and on sale is everything from smelly sea creatures and colorful peppers to bright flip-flops and clothing. It's busier in the morning, but in the late afternoon it's incredibly photogenic – step inside a smokehouse, which preserves masses of Bonga (shad fish), and you'll see entrancing rays of light cutting through the thick air. you will have the chance to take photos with locals and even try some of the smoked fish. The fishermen bring their fish to the beach, the women get this from the boats and sell it on the beach. A very crowding scene but a lot of variety in fish. Full boat of fish, Smoking fish, etc. Take your camera or video and you have a busy time!

The Gambian Reptiles Farm
Day 2-3
After Tanji we will visit the Reptile farm, we will have the chance to see, touch, and even take pics of the reptiles. there are different types of them there as you can see in the pics. After Kartong we will be heading back to the hotel.
4
Bijilo National Park
Day 3
If you like nature and wildlife (especially monkeys) you can't miss Bijilo Forest Park. Lots and lots of monkeys. On this day we will be heading to Bijilo forest park. we will be seeing tons and tons of monkeys which are extremely harmless. I myself have never been to this place but I am extremely happy to be going there with other people as well and the good part is that Bijilo Forest Park is rich in birdlife and offers excellent opportunities for birdwatching in The Gambia.
5
Kachikally Crocodile Pool
Day 3-4
Kachikally is a pool of crocodiles found in Bakau, I've been hearing it since I was a kid but I've never been there, so this will be such an opportunity for me and you. The crocodiles are harmless which means e can touch them and even take pics of them
We cant explore all those places listed before without visiting Fathala. it's like Justin Bieber in R&B lol. We will walk with lions CAN YOU IMAGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we will see tons and tons of different wild animals too. It's a great place to have something to post on Instagram #Explore. One of the best things about Fathala game reserve is the ferry trip where you see the Gambia in the raw and not to be missed. After leaving the ferry you go through passport control which is a nightmare and expect lots of form filling. Then if a long drive to the game reserve. when going to Fathala, you will have the chance to cross Banjul with a ferry and before we head to Fathala I will take you guys to fort bullen. it's a historical place here in Gambia. it's just a stone's throw away when we cross with a ferry.
7
Kotu
Day 5-6
We will be back at the hotel and share our best times together and enjoy the moment we shared together before we all go back to our normal lives. We will be partying as usual and everything as usual except the day-to-day trips (:
