River Gambia National Park

Recommended stay 2 to 3 nights
No where like it in the Gambia, Baboon Islands offers the exceptional experience of viewing the last of Gambia's wildlife and lush gallery forests, while staying and dining in comfort. The camp is the gateway to the River Gambia National Park and located on the river. Your expeditions will be by boat, smoothly exploring hidden channels where you may have an up-close but safe view of chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, manatees, over 240 species of birds, among dozens of other animals. 
For those willing to sweat a little, long and short trail hikes bring travelers through forest and savanna and along cliffs to breathtaking vistas. The seclusion and beauty of the area is easily enjoyed paired with the incredible service of the staff and outstanding meals made of fresh, local ingredients. Accommodations consist of a quaint guest house situated on the river that can sleep up to 3 people. Meals are served in the Water House which extends out into the river from the jungle. An exceptional place to sip coffee at day break or recount the days adventures over beers and the finest meal you will find upcountry.
