A Day Makasutu Cultural Forest

An early start is needed, as the drive from your hotel to the Makasutu cultural forest takes just under one hour. Makasutu is a palm forest situated on the banks of a beautiful meandering tributary of the River Gambia at Madina Bolong.

It encompasses many different ecosystems, including dense forest, savannah and mangrove regions. The forest is home to hundreds of varieties of birds, three species of monkeys, monitor lizards, pygmy deer and mongoose, to name but a few.

If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of migrating baboons who make the forest their home for a number of months each year

Upon arrival at Makasutu, you will have the chance for tea, coffee or some other form of refreshment.
