A great day out. - 0650 started a Great day seeing the Gambiains going about their day. From Banjul where the locals were setting up for the day, we enjoyed local coffee and fried donuts from the street vendors. The ferry was a great experience, locals coming and going with their wares to sell for the day. Barra was also great to see, watching everyone jostle and barter for your business. All with a friendly smile. Our guide Baboucarr was always by our side. He was knowledgeable and great fun. He always had an eye out for you to ensure a safe passage through the crowds . The safari was great, just us two and the guide (and Babaoucarr) in our 4x4. Seen giraffes, buffalo, Rhino ,antelopes etc. Back for a lunch at a local restaurant where the food was great. Then returned to our hotel for 1530. A long day but very enjoyable. Thank you Baboucarr

Senegal day trip with safari - Well organised, on time etc. The guide was friendly and helpful. Don't expect 5 star luxury as this is Africa, but that's part of the experience.

A safari to remember - Our guide, Babou Carr, is a legend in the Gambia safari world. It's a long day out to see the animals, but Babou made the day fun and enjoyable and I couldn't recommend a better person to take you on an adventure. In the park itself you can see rhino, zebra, antelope, giraffe and more. Would 100% recommend this tour

Worth the travel - It is a long day, but definitely worth it. The whole trip gives you a look into Gambia and Senegal. Our guide and driver were there to help us always, and the drive around the park was a very nice experience. Very much enjoyed it all!

A sightseeing tour through the authentic life by car and boat in Gambia. - That was a lot of money for just 1 h Safari. The safari itself was not so unique. Saw all the animals that were there but they say I was really lucky. But the trip from Banjul and by ”freight boat” over to the other side of Gambia + drive towards Senegal border was cool experience in itself. Seeing the authentic life. However, my tip is to find a private guide directly on site. There are a lot of idle people who can make the trip, just ask the hotel. You do not need to go through in this case TripAdvisor. There is a huge difference in money.

Not worth the money - Unfortunately we missed the ferry by minutes so the wait was an hour for the next one. There was lots to see on the ferry! The jeep on the other side was the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever travelled in. Safari was very disappointing with very few animals. Lunch was ok at a local cafe but we had to pay for our soft drinks. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful and was the best thing about the trip!
