O que esperar
A Reserva Natural de Fathala está localizada 12 quilômetros ao norte da fronteira entre Gâmbia e Senegal, no Senegal. Você será buscado no seu hotel bem cedo pela manhã e seguirá para Banjul, a capital, onde embarcará na balsa para Barra e vivenciará a agitação com a população local. Após aproximadamente uma hora de navegação pelo Rio Gâmbia, você chegará a Barra para continuar dirigindo por inúmeras vilas antes de chegar a Amdalaye/Karang, na fronteira entre Gâmbia e Senegal, para as formalidades de passaporte. De lá, você entra no Senegal e dirige por aproximadamente 30 minutos até chegar ao Parque Fathala. Em Fathala, um antigo caminhão 4x4 do exército estará esperando por você para um safári de 2 horas dentro do parque. Na reserva, você pode desfrutar do ambiente natural da mata e ter a chance de avistar animais como zebras, rinocerontes, girafas, macacos e muitos outros. Depois, você pode saborear uma deliciosa pizza de sua escolha e uma bebida antes de retornar à fronteira para pegar a balsa para Banjul.

De excursie was zeer de moeite waard, alleen de ferrytocht was al een excursie ansich. In Fathala hadden we het geluk zelfs even uit de jeep te mogen voor het perfecte plaatje. De safariduur had wat langer gemogen, minstens 2 uur was wenselijk. Of dit kwam door de optie van 40 euro voor het wandelen met leeuwen, weten we niet, maar meer tijd voor de safari was meer natuur voor je geld geweest.

Het park was ok, ook al hadden we graag wat meer dieren gezien. De weg er geen was heel verrassend, iets wat wij niet kunnen voorstellen. Door de drukte op ferry en voor en na het inschepen ben te toch wel op je goede om geen familie kwijt te spelen.

Trip is mis-sold, not a full day Safari - 2hrs in a ‘managed’ Wildlife Park with limited animals’. Travel through Gambia, ferry, border crossing, Senegal, an unforgettable experience hence recommend. Info pre-trip poor. No mention of need to have yellow fever books (hence extra costs at border). No advice to bring cloth/cover for wet and muddy ferry seats, long trousers to protect from branches, toilet paper, wet wipes etc. guide did not point out key landmarks or add value.

What a brilliant experience. Its not just about the animaks but the whole day from pick up to drop off. The boat crossing was unbelievable. The only negatives are the booking confirmation said 7am pick up but was actually 6.30am, and tui never mentioned the yellow fever certificate requirements. Although you can pay in its absence tui should not be promoting that.

Heel veel hectiek, zowel aan de ferry als aan eider zijden van de grensovergang, om dan een heel beperkt aantal dieren te spotten! Gelukkig hebben we alle soorten die er uitgezet zijn ook wel gezien.

The safari drive was a little short and the guide thou very personable didn't tell us much other than the animals names - and she missed a few. The journey was fun especially the ferry but very hot on the way back. Border crossing was tiresome and clearly irritated our tour guide. Liunch was very nice. Overall a nice day out but not startling

Our Gambian tours Guide Keena ( may have mis spelt his name sorry ) was very good and passionate about his country and job telling us lots of info of his country and what the tour would entail. Including singing the national Gambian anthem ?? he had everything very well organised. Fascinating experience on the ferry . The Fathala guide was minimalist in her knowledge of the park. The driver there seemed reluctant to stop for us to see animals and birds towards end of tour ??.

The trip as a whole was an amazing experience for us as we had never been on a safari previously and we saw lots of animals close up. The duration of the trip is entirely dependant on having some luck with the ferry - as there is only one and it takes a while to unload / load everyone on. If certain people want to do the lion walk then there is a bit of a wait after lunch for others.

Leuke excursie maar veel reizen en gedoe om daar te komen. Het is geen safari maar een (groot) afgezet stuk bos waar de dieren zitten. Daarnaast was het voor ons niet duidelijk hoelaat we opgehaald zouden en stonden we eer helemaal niet op lijst (we hadden via de app gereserveerd).

Prima your, lange dag dat wel. Veel indrukken opgedaan op de Ferry en de grensovergang naar Senegal. Het park is groot, wij zagen antilopen, zebra's, giraffen en een Neushoorn. Deze kun je ook in Beekse bergen zien, maar dit is toch anders qua ervaring. Niet goedkoop € 135,- p.p. zonder Lionwalk. Via een andere locale tourguide was het € 145,- incl. Lionwalk. Onthouden voor een andere keer.

Zeker de moeite waard om te doen. Maar bereid je voor op een lange reis heen en een lange reis terug (+/-3,5 uur enkel) om uiteindelijk maar +\- 1.5u in het park te zijn. Lion walk is niet inbegrepen, apart voor €50 ter plekke te boeken. Overigens betaal je 600 dalasi boete aan de border met Senegal als je geen yellow fever card hebt (dit wisten wij niet en stond ook niet vermeld op de voucher).

It was an incredible trip. Great to see animals and rural Senegal . The guide was incredible was were the minibus drivers. The ferry broke down half way across, we returned on a fishing boat. I would suggest the fishing boat is significantly safer and a better option from the start ? It was a great experience but not for the faint hearted.

A very long day, the ferry can be quite challenging but a fantastic eye opening experience. Our guide Kalle was amazing and made the trip easy and informative. The safari felt rushed and once you had seen one of a particular species it was time to move on and not stop again for that species. Park guide seemed uninterested and spent a lot of time talking to another guide. Park driver showed no consideration for clients taking photo’s as would normally park in front of a tree obscuring the view.

It was a lot of travelling for a short time in the park but the travelling was part of the experience. It was a shame that we didn't have the option of doing the lion walk. We waited a very long time for pizza, despite pre ordering, and I'm sure that some people eould have preferred to skip pizza and sitting about, to do the lion walk instead. An expensive day but overall a good trip.

Duidelijke afspraken, mooie reis door Gambia, met de ferry, bijzondere grensovergang en een prima wildpark met goed eten. Wel veel armoede (van kinderen) gezien aan de grens. Aanrader als je voor het eerst of slechts kort in Gambia bent en toch even meer wil zien.

Pros: Saw all the animals we hoped to see. Cons Not advised by TUI Yellow fever card required, had to pay fine Gambia tour guide - perfunctory at best Local guide / driver - didn't know how to "creep" up on animals (scattered them, created dust clouds) or position for photography. Also only accommodated only with phone cameras as opposed to SLRs Safari open lorry - far too big, seated 5 across so poor viewing for some Not a jeep!! Commercial, once seen one of each animal - end of tour!

I enjoyed the day experience amongst the locals on the ferry and out and about albeit it is top heavy in terms of travel vs experience itself. Having done safari's it is more of an experience and it didn't include the lions which i think should have been

The walk with Lions was the highlight of the excursion. I only knew about this optional extra as a guest staying at the same hotel mentioned it to me before the day. However when I did some research I found that there was a fee of £40 cash for the lion walking which I willingly paid. The issue was that a few couples on the excursion only had visa so was unable to take part in the lion walk. TUI please mention details like these on the itinerary.

The drivers & Pappa the tour guide were amazing. From the info provided to the help on border crossing.
Long journey, but worth it if you want to see those beautiful animals.
We were lucky to see Rhino, Giraffe, Wild boards, buffalo, zebra, Antelope.
Sad that crocodiles are kept in a pool. LionsSame

The safari was quite a great experience. We had a knowledgeable tour guide and a friendly crew. There were couple of delays; waiting for a replacement coach following a break down and spending an extra hour or so at the Senegalese border. I guess it all added a bit more spice to an already wonderful experience. The ferry crossing to Barra was really a great way to get up and close to the daily hustle in the Gambia. Staff at Fathala Wildlife Reserve were great and welcoming.

An interesting day tour from Bakau in the Gambia to Fathala game reserve in the neighbouring country of Senegal. An excellent guide kept us safe and did all the leg-work at the borders in both directions. A great sight-seeing trip, including a return ferry crossing of the river Gambia, a drive through the country side, ca return crossing of an international border and a successful photographic safari in a game reserve. An excellent and knowledgeable guide in the game reserve.

The whole experience was an eye opener from start to finish. First of all, it’s a long day. Early pick up and travel to catch the ferry, which is a fantastic experience to see the daly commuters. The a beautiful trip across the river. Once at the other side a chance to go through the market at Barra. Then onto Fathala via the border control, again an experience in itself. The wildlife park is good and food nice All guides and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth doin.

It is a long day away for a fairly short safari. Having said that it is interesting to see something of the real country, warts and all. If this trip could be packaged with a short stop somewhere else as an add on experience with, say, coffee (not sure this is possible because of ferry times) , this would help add to the day. The guide staff with us were great and looked after us well with a good attention to detail.

Ten 1e krijg je op je voucher geen bevestiging van het ophaalpunten met tijdstip. €135 voor een busreis, overtocht met ferry, busreis, uur wachten bij de grensovergang Gambia/Senegal, busreis, uur safari, lunch met ongare pizza, weer retour. Daarnaast mist er info bij de boeking dat je moet beschikken over je paspoort (logisch) gele boekje met bewijs inenting gele koorts en inenting tegen Corona. Krijg je pas in de bus te horen. Gids was vriendelijk, maar deed niet veel. Jammer! Nooit meer!

Man darf nicht zuviel erwarten von dieser Safari, insbesondere wenn man Großwildsafaris bereits kennt! Dennoch interessante Pirschfahrt, wir hatten Glück und einige Tiere gesehen. Nach der Regenzeit war die Umgebung relativ grün! Die Fahrt auf jeden Fall eine Abwechslung vom Strandleben im Hotel! Die Überfahrt mit der Fähre ist ebenfalls ein Erlebnis das man gesehen haben muss!

Although the trip was a brilliant experience, could have been more variety of animals. Also had to be very carful between Gambia and Senegal customs where all the street children would steal from you if given the opportunity, though we were warned. Don't let that put you off as the whole trip is totally worth it just to see how the true Gambians and Senegalese actually live. It will open your eyes and make you appreciate how lucky most of us are.

The wildlife park great. Animals happy, healthy and natural and the guide knew her stuff. But I would recommend going after the tall grasses are cut, check before you book as it was hard to see the animals. The Senegal border crossing was long and complicated. You need Covid certs. Also your yellow fever card or you can buy one at the border (!) Ferry took 2 hours wait and then 90 mins to cross, as only 1 ferry was working. Quicker on way back though. A taste of real Gambian life!

We booked this through the Web site. It states you need a copy of your passport. You in fact need to take your original passport. Then we are told you need a yellow fever certificate. If not you had to.pay 600 each to get one. People were asked on the coach to raise their hand if they had one. They did not at any point get asked to prove this. Those without were then told to hand over their passport with 600 inside. These passports would be photographed on the ferry so yellow fever verticals would be ready once we reached the boarder with Senegal. At no.point did we see this happen as we sat opposite the guide on the ferry. We then all had to get out to be screened so we're given back our passports. We queued for ages at the Gambia controll and then the Senegal control. So much time spent queuing at these bordering the heat with no shade. What happened to our money and yellow fever certicates?????? This really seemed a complete farce and a way of getting money from us. It should be clearly stated when booking. At no.point were those who said they had a certificate asked to prove it. Total con. Very unhappy with this extra charge considering the cost of the trip. This really is something that should be advised and looked into a we and others felt we were just the victims of a complete con.

Great game drive. Ludicrously over-priced. Twice as expensive as the local competition. The guide managed the group- in particular the timing- very poorly. I think Tui’s reputation is compromised by its partnership with Gambia Tours. The local competitors provide much better value for money, and better guides.

Guides were great and the game drive was a good length. Main downside was the poor functioning of the TUI app which didn’t allow us to select our hotel and made getting picked up in the morning a real hassle.

Everything provided by Gambian tours was good and safe, they were well organised and attentive. One of our lunches was forgotten and the driver at the safari park did not really give the passengers enough time to watch and take photos of the animals/birds. The co-ordination there was poor. TUI are asking a lot of money for this tour in comparisons with local prices. We really enjoyed our day and experience but it was not great value for money.
