This is a marvelous place to be if you're a nature lover, birds 🐦 and monkey 🐵🐒 lover especially the (red colobus)... All you a little cash (money) to pay an entrance fee, Groundnut/Bandanas for the monkeys to enable them come down to you.. It was amazing seeing the monkeys and birds with the aid of Mr Ebrima.

It’s a part of Monkey forest (but monkeys seems to stay closer to the entrance) and pretty pleasant walk. We tried to reach beach but unfortunately the path has end and as I am afraid of snakes I decided to walk back (yes there could and probably are!). I didn’t take a guide this time as it is super easy to walk there and it was my second time.

This is still a beautiful forest, despite losing half to conference center and constantly under threat of destruction(development) by those who should be ensuring it's protection. The entrance is now a dust road running from beach up to highway other side of conference center.

Was My first time there. Monkeys were friendly. Seen some babies. Me and My Husband with Badi Bunka and His Wife Benta Bunka. 🌟

This must be one of the best trips i have done! The monkeys are actually in their own habitat they are not caged in any way. They are absolutely loads of monkeys here, and the babies are just absolutely adorable you can feed the mokeys they sell nuts at the reception (a little tip, i took bananas still in their skins cut up in my bag, they absolutely love them) it was just amazing, and a trip i would do again and again! ❤️

A quite fake experience, a little stripe of forest, not particularly well-kept, a lot of monkeys in the first hundred meters, and even more tourists trying to feed them, then almost empty if you take the whole tour, just a couple of birds. Staff and food sellers at the entrance not particularly nice, trying to sell you everything as always. No need for a guide, you just can have the whole tour by yourself in about one hour.

Monkey park great to see and feed the monkeys. If you have children they will love it. On your way there everyone will try to sell you peanuts you can buy them at park which means your supporting park and volunteer workers. You must have guide you tip them at end. Don't believe what they say about size of park as it is less than half the size now because of construction of new Chinese center being built. They tell you it can take 2-4 hrs to get round park not true 1.5 hrs that's if you stop and take your time.

Visiting the Monkey park was a awesome experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable and the monkeys were fun to watch.

Costs DL150 entry fee, but you'll also be expected to buy peanuts for Monkeys and tip the Guide. That said all in for two adults DL600 (approx £10) for a busy afternoon which I thoroughly enjoyed.

A perfect venue for events and the area can host a huge number. In hall seating with a stage and exhibition areas, gardens (front and back), really helpful staff. For Movie screenings, plays, meetings, weddings etc, ebunjan is definitely the spot. The hall contains natural lighting.

I had a good experience there. A nice theater

Intriguingly well kept💕💕 love the colors! The lawn! The service!!!!

Loved it

Its nice

Nice place

This arch has an interesting story as no one is sure if they should celebrate its existence. The Gambia gained its independence in 1965 from the British. During its short democratic state, it has a military Coup D'etat. It was the military that built the Arch as a commemoration. The military dictator held the power for 22 years from which he was voted out. The Arch 22 represents the 22 years of the Coup. Interesting history of this Arch. Regardless, it is a statement similar to the Arch De Triumph in Paris.

Going to Gambia was definitely an open opener. The history and culture is very rich and everyone should at least have the experience. Please wear comfortable shoes because you be doing walking up the stairs. The breeze also feels amazing as get into the breezeway.

With 100D, you can go inside the monument where historical artifacts and records are exhibited. It’s cool to look down the entire Banjul city from the top

Wonderful "Egereh" experience. Had great 2nd row seating. The timing between each hunting was long but when this hunting came out he danced for the crowd. There were so many people, the place was packed.

Absolutely must go. Just 100 dalasis entry and you can climb to the top. It gets dark in some spots so be careful! The top floor is a small “museum” and local guide will explain all about politicians while you see photos there. Originally I didn’t want that as I came for photos BUT I am so glad he made me to listen as it was pretty fascinating (and those photos are amazing)

Nice place with an amazing view over Banjul and the whole river Gambia delta. Our guide was friendly and funny, this price of 100 GMD per adult is fair.

For a view point of Banjul, it is the best place. But for a museum, it is not too much information too see, anyway the entrance fee is not expensive.

Beautiful church So many nice items to see Gardens very well maintained A pleasure to visit

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church. The murals inside the church are also very African-style. (Original) 很漂亮的教堂，教堂裡面的壁畫也很有非洲風格

Very serene environment.

Good for relax

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful beach I have ever seen, big waves and a sun that shines all year round. Really recommend visiting if you are in The Gambia. 10/10 (Original) Den vackraste stranden jag har någonsin åskådat, stora vågor och en sol som skiner året om. Rekommenderar verkligen att besöka om ni är i The Gambia. 10/10

(Translated by Google) 150 meters from the beach, the toilet wastewater from the surrounding state institutions and hotels is discharged into the sea. If the wind is right you can smell it. Disgusting! (Original) 150 Meter vom stranwwerden hier die Toiletten Abwässer der umgebenen staatlichen Institutionen und hotels ins Meer geleitet. Bei entsprechendem Wind kann man es riechen. Ekelhaft!

The food us expensive and zero quality. I was really disappointed

A pretty cool restaurant, the food is really nice and the place is organized. They also sell cakes. It’s a good spot to pick up a birthday cake and get it decorated (especially last min birthday cakes). It’s a cool spot for meetings especially in the mornings. The area is just a little noisy because of its proximity to the Kairaba avenue but that’s quickly solved when you move inside the restaurant.

You can check the prices which I put the menu here. (at the video) The service is good, servants has good smile 🤟🏽

I think the service is slow Whenever I eat here I have an upset stomach I feel like throwing up my stomach ends up hurting and I asked for the Adult chicken nuggets I got the kids chicken nuggets I don’t know what it is or what they put in the food but my stomach hurts for Days on end and I don’t think it’s nice when a Costner is new here and you want them to because unwell at least serve me what is good every time I eat your food it makes me feel sick of have an upset stomach and it’s not nice Mariam John

Pretty much the same as every other big restaurant down the street except a little bit pricier. Pizza is decent, and the ice cream is good (sometimes freezer burnt though, but what can you do in West Africa really...). Not very good for a quick bite, and cheaper/better local food is available close by. Not worth it unless you have time to kill and/or want to impress someone.

My experience of the place was extremely good ... Had Pizza and Soups there .. excellent!! Also the Service with Smile of the Gentlemen was worth all praises.. I ordered them with Chocolate Black Forest cake at 4:30 PM.. on urgent basis and they delivered me at 6:30 pm. and Being a visiting Indian I was accorded all assistance . . Lovely Job Done... Thank you .. enjoyed our celebrations , courtesy you.

I'm trying to get hold of the management because food hygiene and what myself and my husband experienced today needs to be brought to his attention and especially during this covid pandemic. Your chef has no respect for customers and is spraying with and spiting in customers food due to the fact they ask him to exchange something from container. He knew what he was doing and did it to get back at us because of his ignorance im going to make all public aware you run a big risk. Every chef duty is to provide a high level of hygiene when preparing food and dealing with customers requirements.

We've visited Darboe's twice for dinner whilst holidaying in The Gambia, and the food, service, and ambience were all excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food tasted like it was homemade. We are both vegetarian, so we tried the domoda and benachin with rice and salad and a couple of beers each, which came to about £20 (80 Dalasi to the pound). They have a live band that starts around 2130, but they always have street artists passing by who play their own music for tips. All in all, a great place to go for dinner.

Good food and nice atmosphere. Unfortunatly we waited for about 1 hour and 15 minutes for our food to come. It was only 2 other companies at the restaurant that evening.

First time tasting Gambian jollof rice/thieboudienne and I loved it. I also tasted Domoda but I didn’t Ike it and couldn’t taste the “groundnut” in the sauce

Very good local restaurant with high quality of meals. Reasonable prices. I love theirs seafood soup. Very friendly owner of the restaurant. Good music and if you love to dance you can do it in this place too.

Loved it there Darboe himself very friendly..good music and even better cocktails

We stayed in Gambia 12 days, we ate in many locals and Darboe's has the best food in a good price. The best pasta here. Very good Gambian food, good onion soup, chicken 65, pasta arrabbiata.

Fantastic the only bar that is run by a Gambian and a great entertainer

This is a huge market, the largest im Banjul. They sell all sorts of things. From clothing to kitchenware to food. Very interesting but not unlike other markets in The Gambia or Africa. I’m giving the experience only 4 starts because of the people who are outside just waiting to “guide” you through the market. I understand that they’re trying to make a living, and it may work for some people, however, I like to walk alone and take my time absorbing the experience. It’s hard to “shake them off”, and doing it takes away from the experience. If you arrive with your own guide, then this won’t be a problem for you.

We went for a walk and fabric shopping on the weekend. Very vibrant place as you can enjoy seeing variety of products there. You can also visit the landmark Arch 22 while entering to Banjul town.

Good place for souvenirs!

Albert Market is a great place to go if you're looking for a bit of retail therapy! It's got everything you could possibly want, from clothes and equipment to fish and animals, and art and leather crafts. It's a real melting pot of cultures and a great place to soak up the local atmosphere. As a western tourist, you'll feel safe here, but just be aware that some people might try to sell you things you don't really need. There's no need to worry, though, as most Gambians are very friendly and welcoming.

Market in the heart of Banjul. Found things to be surprisingly cheaper than the Serekunda market

I love this place. In the capital it is one of the old markets. Anything, from modern day fashion, to fresh fruits and veggies, meat, fish, art, musical instruments, fabrics,and jewelry can be found here. One of my favorite places so it embodies the spirit of African community and commerce. It is huge and a whole day can be spent just walking around, taking in the sights. I highly recommend Albert market for a true Gambia experience

I believe it's the largest market in The Gambia. There are a lot of varieties of items. I fed my eyes. Got to buy some oranages from a very nice lady. They told me they were as sweet as sugar, and guess what?! They did not lie! I still need to understand how the red dry fishes are made.

It is very frustration in trying to find a Email contact on your website in order to make enquiry to your Gambia bank . All what is available is are telephone numbers. This I belief does not tell well of the bank in the diaspora, for simple reason that we cant Email about our Inquiries. look into it please

If you are in town, it is worth to visit. Very informative as you can also learn a bit more of The Gambia.

This is a museum that has many displays of the history of The Gambia. There are many displays from ancient times and up to today. It is not allowed to take pictures of the inside of the museum so I can only show you the outside, which has a lot of interesting things to see. Overall, a good experience.

Remember, "TIA"! This Is Africa, and your expectations should be equal to this amazing place. This museum tells the incredible story of Gambia as a country through time, including some truly awe-inspiring displays of slavery, governments, people, African culture, and more. You get to learn that there are two sources of income in modern Gambia: (1) tourists, and (2) peanuts! The many overtaking government troops through time now secures the peace in Gambia. And what a peace it is! If the military starts shooting, no tourists means no income. But that’s not going to happen! This small African nation is so interesting because of the colourful people, the African culture, markets, display of religion, animals, nature – the list goes on! You can spend as little or as long as you like here – it’s all good!

The National Museum of The Gambia, housed in a building in dire need of urgent renovation, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the country. Despite its current state, the museum presents a collection of diverse artifacts that reflect the cultural heritage and evolution of The Gambia over the centuries. Visitors can explore exhibits showcasing items ranging from ancient pottery and traditional clothing to colonial-era relics and archaeological discoveries. Each artifact tells a story, providing insight into the traditions, customs, and struggles that have shaped Gambian society. While the museum's physical condition may be less than ideal, its historical significance cannot be understated. For anyone in the area, a visit to the National Museum of The Gambia is a worthwhile experience. It offers a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the country's past and its place in the broader context of West African history. As efforts are made to improve and preserve the museum's infrastructure, it remains a vital cultural institution, preserving the heritage of The Gambia for future generations. Despite its current challenges, the National Museum stands as a testament to the resilience and importance of preserving cultural identity in the face of adversity.

This museum needs a lot of work! The building needs to be renovated or rebuilt with the artworks properly arranged and placed in a step-wise manner to tell a good story. I felt disappointed visiting here. I hope the government of The Gambia rejuvenates this place as many tourists tend to visit every day.

National Museum of the Gambia= The museum is not a big building but informative enough to cover the history of the Gambia. Lots of artefacts starting from the stone age to the present which are of cultural and historical interests can be seen displayed. If you are interested about history like i do then i can recommend to visit this place when you happen to be in Banjul.

Without a doubt one of the best museums I've seen on the African continent. Incredible amount of objects and artifacts, all labelled and well displayed, dating from the stone age up until today. Absolutely worth visiting if you are in Banjul.

The State House is the official residence of the president of the Gambia. The State House is depicted on some Gambian dalasi banknotes.

The ferry system is not managed properly. Different information from each staff. They will just be saying that the ferry is coming meanwhile on the gps it hasn’t moved from Banjul. People are being pushed ahead of us after waiting 5 plus hrs to cross in a vehicle. Too many ppl on board at once. 0 accountability for anything that goes wrong and the people are not paid enough so they end up taking compensation to push other cars ahead. I don’t know how they can fix the issue but, needs an overhaul of management altogether. Just be prepared to spend most of your day at the ferry 800 dalasi to cross in a 4x4 along with 35 dalasi per passenger very reasonable price. If there is any other way to cross a vehicle please alert me as I take this trip often and have spent countless hrs here 6 hrs today and 3 cars just got passed ahead of me. So praying that I cross with this 3rd ferry since I arrived. Photos from when we spent the night because we got jumped in front of one car that had us missing the ferry home.

Very chaotic, although bribes needed you never know if you are going to get onto the next one ferry, or if you spend few hours waiting for the next one

The ferry was not even close to being full, but people were rushing to get in all at once. A very bad organization that Gambian authorities need to take care of!

Very busy area. If you are traveling on foot then it's not a problem, but if you are driving a car we'll that's another story. It's about a 20 minute ferry ride and most of the time they have 3 ferries running. Corruption at it's finest. We drove from Dakar to Banjul and back. We had to pay for the ferry ride, which is not a problem but in order for you to get your car on the ferry that you already payed for, that's where the fun begins. We had to bribe about 4 different people and we still had to wait 4 hours to get on that ferry. Checkpoints everywhere in The Gambia, if you are driving and the people working the check points always try and get money from you.

The Banjul Ferry Terminal is a very busy place... The place is always crowded with business men, women and those traveling to Senegal and to the nearest villages within the river area. Banjul to Barra is so lovely and amazing being ok the Ferry sighting the sea and other activities being carried out on the saw by individuals fishing etc. 8f you didn't meet up with a particular Ferry you have to wait for some time for the next ferry to come.

The old ferry is slow and inconvenient... the new one is fine with all necessary things. The new ferry is in a very good condition, which makes it really fast. It makes the new ferry to cross to Barra approximately 30 minutes.

A busy place. Watch out for your stuff! Connects Banjul to Barra (South of the River to the North). The ferry can be slow but it’s still an amazing experience.
