We depart early around 06.00hrs and head to Banjul for our ferry crossing to Barra. We will be welcomed into the Fathala Nature Reserve currently 2000 acres of a natural environment which many African Wildlife have now made their home. On our 4 X 4 vehicle, we will be able to follow the animal tracks through the wilderness in search of some of the species that roam the area.

In just 1 - 2hrs, it is possible to spot Giraffes, Rhinos, Giant Elands, Zebras , Antelopes, Warthogs, Buffaloes to mention only a few – How lucky you might be?

Don’t forget your cameras – this may be your only chance to take some amazing pictures!

Lunch in the wild and drinks are available to buy during the day at the park.

An optional Lion Walk of about 30mins if available for those who dare to take part (paid locally).

Please bring along your passport and acquire your visa(s) if you required one plus yellow fever certificate.
