Recommend the visit. We had a pleasure that the guide was the manager of the park. Have different possibilities how to go in to the park. If first time, recommend it with the guide and some food for the monkeys. To get to know them and the history of the monkey and the park. Park is beautiful. This is the way to see the animals. In it natural habitat. Not in the zoo. We come for a visit. They are starting to protect the park and to preserve it. Money that comes to the park will go to protecting the park.

I had the most amazing Time the best experience ever ! They are so friendly and their hands are so soft This is how animals should be.free in their natural habitat

Small but very nice park. Entrance is 150 dallassi per person and you really don't need a guide (we didn't). Only few routes through the parc, impossible to get lost and in the first part there are monkeys everywhere. They are really sweet natured! Gently pick the bananas and peanuts out of your hands. Recommended to buy banana's and peanuts elsewhere (cheaper). Also saw nice birds like the red horn bill.

I would definitely recommend this for children. Easy walk, two types of monkeys who are friendly as they used to people. You can feed them from your hand. You can buy nuts (for res monkeys) and bananas (the “green monkeys”) and I would recommend that. I took just nuts and have to say that other monkeys haven’t been interested:) There is NO need for guide as park is easy to go through and if you will just follow the path than you won’t get lost at all. It’s just not possible 😂 If you don’t know anything about monkeys, flora etc, have a guide as he will explain and will make you “safe”. There was no need for me

Great park, you can walk as far as you want or as little as you want. Our entry fee was 150 d each and 500 for a guide which you will need if you want to make the best of your experience. It's a nice place to see the monkeys. They are very calm and gentle monkies, not at all aggressive. There's a few large termite mounds that are cool. The woods itself is shaded by sunshine, which makes it very comfortable to walk around. We got a taxi here from the Balafon Hotel. We paid 500d to the taxi driving for the round trip. He came back an hour later to collect us and dropped us back at the hotel door. Dont let anyone charge you more than 250d each way, as it isn't very far. Also you can walk here by the beach but due to harassment from the locals we avoided that. There are 3 nice stalls here selling keyrings, bracelets, artwork etc. Nice little gifts to take home.

Amazing experience, it's so nice to see them so close. Be prepared with lots of Peanut :) Highly recommended

Monkey park was wonderful. Prices are 150 D for non residents and 50 for residents and children under 12 are free. You can bring your own peanuts and bananas. The park do have supplies but limited. I do say the location on this map is a little off which leads you to the wrong entrance. Which you run into the locals who may trick you into paying for a tour guide you may not want. But overall it’s a nice walk in the park with many monkeys.( pay when you get there no advance tickets is needed)

This place is a nice eco-friendly nature spot. I’d recommend paying a guide to take you around. Mass(our guide) was patient throughout. There’s an entry fee(free for under 12s) and I’ll advise to wear comfortable shoes because we were told there might be snakes roaming around. The monkeys are friendly but you need to buy peanuts to attract them.

Very nice visit, walking through the park meeting and feeding monkeys along the way. We used a local taxi driver to take us and as a guide. We purchased a few bags of nuts on the drive to the park. He knew where to enter and the path to take and where to turn back. Cost is very good (150 per person plus 50 for guide). Spend approx a hour or so within the park and fed both types of monkey. The interaction is amazing and they happily take nuts from your hand gently. Highly recommended.

Bring peanuts. Lots of peanuts. Monkeys love them. Don't be scared, when monkeys approach you with they their hand up in the air. They just want PEANUTS!

The location of the park has changed and is much smaller. The paths have not been cleaned and its just a very small area. The staff are rude and try to get as much money out of you. You don't need to buy peanuts, you can bring your own, but they are not necessary. They need to clean the paths so you can walk around more.

So many monkeys! Bring some peanuts and bananas or you can buy some if the vendors are selling just inside the park entrance. It was 150 dalasi entrance fee. The park is pretty big and you can walk around for a while. Most of the monkeys congregate around the beginning area but we walked a bit towards the back and found some more monkeys hanging out. They will start coming towards you when you enter because I’m sure they can smell the food or they know that people bring food. Not necessary to have a guide. I spent about 30 minutes here, you can stay for longer if you’re really enjoying it or shorter if you’ve had enough. When you give the monkeys the bananas and peanuts they will hold onto your hands, it’s cute if you’re not scared of monkeys. I’ve been to other monkey parks like in Indonesia. I felt these monkeys here in Gambia are more chill. In Indonesia the monkeys were aggressive and stealing sunglasses, hats, watches, phones, etc but here in Gambia the monkeys are just interested in the food and quite shy otherwise.

Entrance fee is 150.00 GMD. You do not need guide to enter park and walk throught without get lost. Park is not that big ! If you are lucky you can meet lot of monkeys from 2 species. There is also access directly to the beach.

The Monkey Park is located close to the Kololi and Senegbian hotel areas. From the hotels you can easily walk to the park in about 10 minutes. The entrance to the park is quite unobtrusive. At the entrance there are walnut vendors where you can buy nuts for your monkeys. Admission tickets are sold in the rearmost building. Ticket price is 150 GMD per person. I don´t recommend taking a guide to the park as you self will find monkeys moving around .... or the monkeys will find you. Even getting lost in the park is practically impossible, you just follow the paths. The area is bounded between the sea and the road so that you cannot be misled. A lot of monkeys are seen and they are calm and take nuts out you hand. Also take good photos is easy there. The forest is suitably shaded so you can visit it even in the hottest times. Drinking water should be reserved as the park does not sell water. Great experience worth a visit. Apinapuisto sijaitsee lähellä Kololin ja Senegbian hotellialueita. Hotelleilta kävelee helposti noin 10 minuutissa puistoon. Puiston sisäänkäynti melko huomaamaton. Sisäänkäynnin luona on pähkinän myyntikojuja, joista voi ostaa apinoita varten pähkinät. Sisäänpääsylippuja myydään takimmaisessa rakennuksessa. Lipun hinta on 150 GMD henkilöltä. Puistoon ei kannata ottaa opasta, sillä löydät omatoimisesti liikkuenkin apinoita.... tai siis apinat kyllä löytävät sinut. Puistoon eksyminenkin on käytännössä mahdotonta, kuljet vain polkuja pitkin. Alue rajautuu meren ja tien väliin, niin että et voi joutua harhaan. Ainoita näkyy paljon ja ne ovat rauhallisia ja ottavat pähkinät kädestä. Niistä saa myös helposti hyviä valokuvia. Metsä on sopivasti varjoisa, joten siellä voi vierailla kuumimpaan aikaankin. Juomavettä on syytä varata mukaan, sillä puistossa ei myydä vettä. Hieno kokemus, kannattaa vierailla.

A cool place in the sunny Gambia. The monkey are cute and they love banana for real.

What a experience! I never thought i could be so near them and still feel save. we had the luck of seen the red monkey near us. My daughter love it, she was playing and feeding the monkey's as if is not the first time. The place is very natural environment and well preserved, our guide was 5*. Is a must visit place for sure in Gambia.

Great place to visit I thought it would be enclosed but the monkeys are free to come and go as they please vit stay for the food, lovely walk through the trees, buy the nuts from locals outside the area

(Translated by Google) For 150 dalasi nice walking around without a guide .. you don't need them just follow the paths .. don't fool yourself if you walk from the beach through a gambian who says he works for the park. they want a tip of 500 If they can spawn and guide you through another entrance .. the main entrance is just along the main road can't miss .. it's nice to walk for an hour or so in the forest in the morning (Original) Voor 150 dalasi lekker rond wandelen zonder gids ..die heb je niet nodig volg gewoon de paden..laat jezelf niet wijs maken als je vanaf het strand loopt door een gambiaan die zegt dat hij voor het park werkt. ze willen een tip van 500 Als ze je kunnen paaien en via een andere ingang naar binnen loodsen.. de hoofd ingang is gewoon langs de hoofdweg kan niet missen ..het is leuk om een uur of wat in het bos te wandelen in de ochtend

(Translated by Google) I loved it, my kids also super good experience with monkeys (Original) J'ai adoré, mes enfants aussi super bonne expérience avec les singes

Surprisingly good. We had a great guide in Mustapha Trawally who talked us though the surroundings and natural phenomena in perfect English between meeting and feeding the Green Vervet and Red Colobus monkeys and charming miniature goats. Definitely worth the 150 dalassi entry fee and the cost of a few nuts. In hindsight the monkeys seemed to prefer bananas when they had their fill of nuts.

The parc itself deserves 4-5 stars, the nature is really beautiful and the monkeys are really kind However: The staff at the entrance will really try hard to convince you that a guide is necessary although it is not. He told us that 1) that at this time of the year, the monkeys have babies (true) and that they are agressive (definitly not true, they even wait patiently for you to feed them peanuts 2) moreover, when he realized that we do not want to take a guide because we read on here, that is not necessary, he just lowered the price and pretented that he is really worried about our security 3) lastly, he said that we only have to pay afterwards if we actually see monkeys which sounds like a nice offer but is actually a joke knowing that you can not not see monkeys there because they are very used to humans and will approach you hoping that you will feed them

My loved monkeys, beautiful creatures, i am in love with them. Ticket is cheap, just 150 D, you can buy bananas and peanuts there or bring with you as not all monkeys eat bananas. It was phenomenal, they are cute, you can touch them, no need to worry as they are calm and lovely,not like monkeys in Asia which wants to steal hats, glasses, etc. This is different level. This monkeys depending on tourists to be fed. Please bring food for them !

I've had the most amazing experiences with visiting the monkeys at this monkey park. They are so cute and the babies are so comical at times when playing with each other. One of my favorite places to visit here in The Gambia 🇬🇲 🐒❤️

Such an amazing day for adults and children you can get up and close with friendly and beautiful monkeys.

Kids loved being able to interact with the Monkeys

(Translated by Google) Walking between the monkeys ... And yes ... They were really active. (Original) Tussen de apen lopen... En ja... Ze waren echt actief.

Amazing experience. A must visit place with monkeys everywhere and rare birds hovering above you.

Don’t get scammed by the highly recommended guides”, we did not learn anything and because they wanted to get more clients they made us go to the exit very fast. We also don’t recommend buying the bananas they sell, the peanuts are enough and attract all the types of monkeys in the park. Apart from this it’s a magical experience where you get to be close to monkeys by feeding them and we even ended up with some on our shoulders. Loved this experience!

Well you pay entrance. And then prepare to buy peanuts to feed the monkeys and goats. You also get a guide, that wants money for rice and also some tips. You can say no, but probably have to repeat it a lot, before they let you go on your own. The monkeys are sweet, but you see them many places. They are eating A LOT of peanuts usually rather full. Some of them are even so friendly that they take nuts from your hand even though they dont wanna eat them all the time. It is safe to go close respectfully.

(Translated by Google) We liked it, we went there by taxi, have 150 Dalasi (about 2,65Euro) p.P. Admission paid. But then ran around there with the guide from the park, he has a lot of explaining (engl.). This information we would not have had otherwise, really recommended. Could feed the monkeys with the peanuts bought there, 2 bags for 100 Dalasi (act!) The guide is free, but then would like but about 150 Dalasi tip p. P. ;-). Did he get, for us that was no problem. (Original) Hat uns gefallen, wir sind mit dem Taxi dort hingefahren, haben 150 Dalasi (ca. 2,65Euro)p.P. Eintritt bezahlt. Sind dann aber mit dem Guide vom Park dort rumgelaufen, er hat viel erklärt (engl.). Diese Infos hätten wir sonst nicht gehabt, echt zu empfehlen. Konnten auch die Affen mit den dort gekauften Erdnüssen füttern, 2 Tüten für 100 Dalasi (handeln!) Der Guide ist kostenlos, möchte dann aber doch ca. 150 Dalasi Trinkgeld p. P. ;-) . Hat er bekommen, für uns war das kein Problem .

My favorite place! Being around the monkeys in such a serene environment is magical. Bring peanuts to share!

I was in February. It was great.

Loved it here 6 years ago, believe it has changed a lot now & not for the better.

Very friendly and wonderful monkeys, it was a wonderful time spend there

Had absolutely wonderful time, and our lady guide Mantu was excellent. I would highly recommend it.

There are monkeys, but everything else sucks. Scam and extortion of money. Not recommend. Get peanuts and wait underneath the fench you will see monkeys, you'll be able to feed them the same way as inside the park. But if you decide to go don't buy peanuts from them, take your own, don't pay for "guide". There are big pathes, you definietly won't lost.

The cost is 150 Dalasi paid in the office and get a ticket. You do not need to buy peanuts and you do not need a guide if you do not want one. Peanuts will attract the monkeys to come to you. You can walk around by yourself. You can also see a lot of birds here. The people trying to sell peanuts at the entrance (who said were working at the park) were very rude and were telling me that I could not takes photos of the trees without permission. Still giving 3 stars because the nature was interesting.

Nice experience. Take your time, buy some Peanuts, but don’t take a guide. They are not necessary at all for feeding and watching the monkeys.

Was a great experience, buy plenty of nuts from the locals in the park for some action. Next time I will bring bananas I want them to eat on my shoulders😊

(Translated by Google) Absolutely go. You have a lot of fun with the cute animals. Do not be afraid, the monkeys are very nice. (Original) Unbedingt hingehen. Man hat viel Freude an den possierlichen Tieren. Keine Angst , sind sehr lieb die Affen.

(Translated by Google) A very nice walk among the monkeys. Both species are friendly. You can do without a guide. Monkeys prefer bananas than nuts. It is better to buy food for them earlier and not just before entering. (Original) Bardzo miły spacer pośród małp. Oba gatunki są przyjazne. Można poradzić sobie bez przewodnika. Małpy wola banany niż orzeszki. Pokarm dla nich lepiej kupić wcześniej a nie przed samym wejściem.

(Translated by Google) Nice (Original) Trevligt

(Translated by Google) March 2020 Because of my great love for monkeys, I can't get enough of this. When you enter you are greeted by the goats that eat everything you have with you, stale bread, peanuts, banana peels. While walking you will come to 2 types of monkeys in the park. Red velvet and the Black velvet monkey. Both monkeys come out of the hand to eat. One likes peanuts and the other likes bananas🍌 The black Velvet monkey, it does get on your shoulder while the others are less enthusiastic about it. I personally could stay there for hours uren (Original) Maart 2020 Vanwege mijn grote liefde voor apen kan ik hier niet genoeg van krijgen. Als je binnenkomt wordt je begroet door de geiten die alles eten wat je bij je hebt, oud brood, pinda's, bananenschillen. Al lopend kom je in het park 2 soorten apen. Red velvet en de Black velvet monkey. Beide apen komen uit de hand eten. De ene houdt van pinda's en de andere houden van bananen🍌 De black Velvet aap, die komt wel op je schouder terwijl de andere daar wat minder enthousiast over zijn. Ik zou er persoonlijk wel uren kunnen blijven🥰🐒

(Translated by Google) You can feed wild monkeys there with nuts and bananas. Admission 150 D per person + 300 D for the guide. You should buy food in advance outside, it is cheaper. The monkeys are very trusting and peaceful. (Original) Man kann dort frei lebende Affen mit Nüssen und Bananen füttern. Eintritt 150 D pro Person + 300 D für den Guide. Futter sollte man vorab draußen kaufen, ist günstiger. Die Affen sind sehr zutraulich und friedlich.

(Translated by Google) This is a park with wild monkeys that have become accustomed to visitors / tourists. (Original) Det här är en park med vilda apor som blivit vana med besökare/turister.

(Translated by Google) Definitely a must when you're around. A great experience. Without a guide it was even better ^^ (Original) Auf jeden Fall ein Muss wenn man in der Nähe ist. Ein super Erlebnis. Ohne führer war es sogar noch besser ^^

(Translated by Google) Super amazing adventure (Original) Super niesamowita przygoda

(Translated by Google) in any case, the monkeys are particularly happy about a few bananas. (Original) auf jedenfall einen Besuch wert über ein paar Bananen freuen sich die Affen besonders.

this park will be dead soon, just some monkeys left since the nearby construction site been established.

It's monkey Park. They are beautiful. 3 different types of monkey, and loads of beautiful birds.

Amazing experience to fees the goats and monkeys. Worth every single penny.

It was amazing the monkeys where so friendly I recommend you g down be the sea that's where I saw the most

Loadsa monkeys and massive park. Get a tour guide, it's needed.

It is a very nice park. Its 150 dalasi per person. Our cabdriver walked with us throug the park, but you can also go by yourself. Having some penuts with you is a must. I hope this park will be nicely preserved. Both the forrest and the animals in it are stunning.

Great place to visit entry fee is about £2.50 per person . Note buy your ground nuts from a local market before you get to the monkey park as they will be alot cheaper

I love monkeys! They literally eat peanuts right out of your hand. The price for the peanuts and the entry fee are relatively high. Still you can support the local population by taking a trip to the park. You might see enough monkeys outside of the park in the surrounding area if you take the time. These ALSO like peanuts :)

(Translated by Google) They charge from 10 euros for the guide, do not pay. The cute but over fed monkeys (Original) Cobran a partir de 10 euros por el guia, no pagar. Los monos simpticos pero sobre alimentados

(Translated by Google) Nice to watch monkeys .... bring peanuts, otherwise they will not come. :-) Nice stretch of beach near the park. (Original) Leuk om aapjes te kijken....neem wel pinda mee wat anders komen ze natuurlijk niet. :-) Mooi stukje strand bij het park.

(Translated by Google) Very nice to spend time. Animals are tame. It is worth visiting this place. (Original) Bardzo miło można spędzić czas. Zwierzęta są oswojone. Warto odwiedzić to miejsce.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, no recommendation: A "guide" made visitors afraid of alleged wild dogs in the park and a monkey species that was dangerous. You should therefore only enter the park with a guide. Afterwards, an extremely high "tip" was requested. I have observed this behavior several times against foreign tourists from different countries. You don't even need to buy an admission ticket because there are a few tame monkeys in front of the park. (Original) Leider keine Empfehlung: Ein "Guide" machte den Besuchern Angst vor angeblichen wilden Hunden im Park und einer Affenart, die gefährlich sei. Man solle deshalb den Park nur mit einem Guide betreten. Hinterher wurde ein extrem hohes "Tip" verlangt. Dieses Gebaren konnte ich mehrfach beobachten gegenüber ausländischen Touristen aus unterschiedlichen Ländern. Man braucht im übrigen gar keine Eintrittskarte zu kaufen, weil sich auch vor dem Park ein paar zahme Äffchen aufhalten.

(Translated by Google) Go to the park without a "guide", take your time, rare ancient trees can be admired, many different bird sounds can be eavesdropped. The many monkeys provide entertainment. Unfortunately, quite littered. (Original) Ohne "Führer " in den Park gehen, sich Zeit lassen, seltene uralte Bäume sind zu bewundern, viele verschiedene Vogelstimmen sind zu belauschen. Für die Unterhaltung sorgen die vielen Affen. Leider ziemlich vermüllt.

(Translated by Google) A great place to meet monkeys and tropical plants for large and small (Original) Super miejsce na spotkanie z małpkami i tropikalna roślinnością dla dużych i małych

(Translated by Google) GREAT experience. Tame and friendly monkeys. They eat from hand. (Original) SUPER przeżycie. Małpy oswojone i przyjazne. Jedzą z ręki.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful walk among the monkeys. Monkeys prefer bananas over nuts, so you should buy bananas. You can buy them in the park itself, but the price on site is quite high. (Original) Spacer pośród małp rewelacyjny. Małpki wolą banany niż orzeszki, więc warto zaopatrzyć się w banany. Można je kupić w samym parku, ale cena na miejscu jest dość wysoka.

Many many glad monkeys... All over..

(Translated by Google) Very nice park to walk through for an hour and feed the monkeys. At the gate you pay 150 Dalasi pp. Then buy some peanuts and you can walk straight into the forest via the kids. A guide is not required. It is not very big but there are a lot of monkeys. 2 types and they all eat from your hand and do not steal from you. Then walk back to your hotel via the beach. You will automatically notice which road leads to the beach. (Original) Heel leuk park om een uurtje doorheen te lopen en de aapjes te voeren. Bij de poort betaal je 150 Dalasi pp. Koop vervolgens nog wat pinda’s en je loopt daarna zo via de geitjes het bos in. Een gids is niet nodig. Het is niet heel groot maar er zitten wel heel veel apen. 2 soorten en ze eten allemaal uit je hand en stelen niet van je. Loop vervolgens via het strand weer terug naar je hotel. Je merkt vanzelf welk weggetje naar het strand loopt.

(Translated by Google) Really worth a guided visit. Not being afraid of cheeky monkeys is a condition to really enjoy it. (Original) Echt een begeleid bezoek waard. Niet bang zijn voor brutale apen is wel een voorwaarde om er echt van te genieten.

Entrance is D100 for Gambians and comes without a guide. It’s an interesting experience because the monkeys are friendly. Don’t forget to get some peanuts or bananas because these smart creatures might not even look at you if you don’t get them something.

(Translated by Google) Always fun to meet the monkeys. They are so playful and "tame". Good guides. A cheap activity when the sun is roasting the most. (Original) Alltid roligt å träffa aporna. De är så lekfulla och "tama". Bra guider. En billig aktivitet när solen steker som mest.

Great
