When you go early in the morning, you’ll have the reserve for you alone. It’s also the ideal moment to spot animals. Birds, monkeys, crocodiles, lizards, duikers, etc… I forgot the entrance fee, but it wasn’t expensive.
Abuko Reserve lies on the right side of the tarmac road from Banjul to Yundum Airport.

When you're into birds, Abuko Nature Reserve is the place to be.
Inside the reserve you'll find an excellent hideout (next to a pool), where you can observe a large variety of birds.
There're also semi-professional ornithologists, who will offer you their services, for a small fee.
Don't forget your binoculars and camera.

In the mangrove forests and tidal flats you can see clawless otter, marsh mongoose and Sitatunga and sometimes you can spot Roan antelopes.
