20th January - Abuko Nature Reserve
There is very little primary gallery forest left in The Gambia, and Abuko is probably the easiest patch to visit being only a 30 minute taxi ride from the Senegambia Hotel. Although the reserve is quite small, it is bird-rich and a full day can easily be spent within it's confines. |

The Crocodile Pool at Abuko Nature Reserve
|
||||
| Consisting mainly of gallery forest, photography in Abuko is difficult since even in the middle of the day the forest floor is quite dark. A couple of hours at the crocodile pool, however, affords numerous opportunities. | ||||
