La Fathala Wildlife Reserve si trova a 12 chilometri a nord del confine tra Gambia e Senegal, in Senegal. Verrete prelevati al mattino presto dal vostro hotel e vi dirigerete a Banjul, la capitale, dove salirete a bordo del traghetto per Barra e vivrete il trambusto con la popolazione locale. Dopo circa un'ora di navigazione sul fiume Gambia, raggiungerete Barra e continuerete a guidare attraverso numerosi villaggi prima di raggiungere Amdalaye/Karang, il confine tra Gambia e Senegal, per le formalità relative ai passaporti.

Da qui si entra in Senegal e si guida per circa 30 minuti per raggiungere il parco di Fathala. A Fathala, un camion 4x4 dell'ex esercito vi aspetterà per iniziare un safari di 2 ore all'interno del parco. Nella riserva, potrete godere dell'ambiente naturale del bush e avere la possibilità di avvistare animali come zebre, rinoceronti, giraffe, scimmie e molti altri. Dopo di che potrete gustare un buon pranzo a base di pizza a vostra scelta e una bevanda prima di ripartire verso il confine per prendere il traghetto per Banjul.

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
