Carry on to Abuku Nature Park, drive through the park, watching the monkeys swinging through the trees, to the Hyena enclosure in the centre, watch these fascinating beasts lazing in the sunshine in a very natural environment. Feed the baboons with peanuts, some of the smaller monkeys will take the nuts out of your hands. Then on to Lamin Lodge, a picturesque lodge built out into the river Gambia, lunch is served upstairs looking out over the river. After lunch take to the water for a boat trip up river through the mangrove swamps, you can see the oysters growing just above the water line and if the tide is right you can see the shells being made into cement. Back to Gunjur in time for dinner.

Night out on the town in Senegambia
Have a taste of what the Gambian nightlife has to offer. You can start with a drink on the beach to some African drumming or if you fancy singing skills try the karaoke at Churchills Bar just off the beach. Dine at one of the restaurants on the Senegambia strip or try the excellent menu at Ali Baba’s Garden an open-air restaurant with live music for you to dance to. The night is just beginning, rock till you drop at Wow, Totties or one of Senegambia’s other clubs. Our driver will take you back to Gunjur Beach Motel when ever you wish.
