Bijilo Forest Park

Bijilo Forest Park, often known as Monkey Park, is located 11 kilometers from Banjul in the coastal zone.

It's a modest reserve, but it's a source of pride for the residents of the area. On your route to the dunes, the pathways are well-maintained and take you through exceptionally beautiful vegetation, a gallery forest, grass, and low scrub.

The red colobus, vervet, and patas are the three primate species. Tourists are advised not to feed the monkeys since they may be rather naughty! The park's more than 100 kinds of birds, including osprey, bee-eaters, and francolins, will delight bird watchers. The consensus seemed to be that this is a delightful reserve that everyone will fall in love with.

The Gambia's Bijilo Forest Park is rich in birds and provides good possibilities for birding. There are around 133 bird species here, including hornbills, pheasants, cuckoos, sunbirds, starlings, weavers, waxbills, eagles, and hawks, among others.
