Das Fathala Wildlife Reserve liegt 12 Kilometer nördlich der Grenze zwischen Gambia und Senegal im Senegal. Sie werden frühmorgens von Ihrem Hotel abgeholt und fahren nach Banjul, der Hauptstadt, wo Sie an Bord der Fähre nach Barra gehen und das bunte Treiben der Einheimischen miterleben. Nach einer etwa einstündigen Fahrt auf dem Fluss Gambia erreichen Sie Barra und fahren weiter durch zahlreiche Dörfer, bevor Sie Amdalaye/Karang, die Grenze zwischen Gambia und Senegal, erreichen, wo Sie Ihre Passformalitäten erledigen.

Von dort aus reisen Sie in den Senegal ein und fahren etwa 30 Minuten bis zum Fathala-Park. In Fathala erwartet Sie ein ehemaliger 4x4-Lastwagen der Armee, mit dem Sie eine zweistündige Safari im Park beginnen. Im Reservat können Sie die natürliche Umgebung des Busches genießen und haben die Chance, Tiere wie Zebras, Nashörner, Giraffen, Affen und viele mehr zu beobachten. Danach können Sie ein leckeres Pizza-Mittagessen Ihrer Wahl und ein Getränk genießen, bevor Sie zurück zur Grenze fahren, um die Fähre nach Banjul zu nehmen.

The trip was a good experience getting out and enjoying the real Gambia & Senegal life, everything went smoothly from hotel to ferry and transferring to the reserve, except getting on a nice new big jeep for safari (19 of us), then been taken off (why??) for smaller jeeps, after 1hour of no communication, waiting around, we were put back on the big tatty jeep, what a waste of an hour apart from one hour, once on safari it was a brilliant experience highly recommend it.

The guide was rude and more interested in meeting up with his friends then looking after the group he had, he shouted at some of us for not paying attention when he was talking about the politics of the country He left us waiting at the park with no explanation for an hour and a half and then said the truck was broken down we eventually went and was taken on and off 3 different trucks, we did see a few animals but not up close and it felt a lot like a ride around a zoo, very disappointing

The bupiest ride i have ever had , several timed i thought i was falling out of the truck , driver had no consideration for his passengers, got really messed around by fathella animal park, they put us on a wagon then told us to get off and give it to another group made us wait nearly 2 hours they wete very poor i should have a refund , the pizza was awful and tasteless

Very enjoyable. A little different in travelling across the river like a local on the ferry. The tour was amazing and would recommended except to people who suffer from a bad back.

The whole thing was very disorganised, nobody was sure what to do from the start

Was a great experience seeing the real Africa, border crosses and way of life. The reserve itself was well maintained and seeing the animals was a great thrill. We visited after the rainy season so it made the safari slightly more difficult to spot, but it was all part of the experience. My wife and daughter met the cubs which was a supplement but again a bucket list experience. Our guides were super efficient. At both ferry ports and border crossings as were our drivers. Would recommend
