We were taken here by a chap we met on the beach of our hotel. The drive here was horrendous as the main road was closed and we had to drive on a further track most of the way. Entrance is 150 DL pp, and a decent size bag of peanuts costs a further 100 DL. You are encouraged to take an expensive guide, but it is not necessary the path through the forest is well laid out and the monkeys will come to you for food. There are two main varieties of Monkeys, the Red Columbus and the green vervet. The former loved the nuts but would not climb on visitors shoulders, whist the latter preferred bananas and much more likely to sit on your shoulders. Top tip, start saving bananas from your hotel breakfast as soon as you arrive as they go very quickly, and the ticket office does not sell them. A relatively cheap trip out and an enjoyable opportunity to take some great photos and if you go as soon as they open the monkeys are at their most hungriest and more likely to approach you. Top yip do not touch the monkeys they don't like it and can bite, especially the mums. Let the monkeys touch or climb over you and they ard fine. Last tip is if you finish around 11 am, just around the corner is the Senegambia jot that offers a free vulture feeding programme which is well worth a visit, every day at 11.30 am

The park is small (too small!) but very well populated. You may encounter lots of monkeys and lots of birds. Do not forget to take a guide: ours (Joseph - if not correct I apologise) was a great source of information!

We arrived early. It was a wonderful way to escape the heat for an hour. Paid 150 Dalasi entrance fee, then we bartered the price of a guide, you don’t need one, but he was very entertaining so worth it. We see red, green and hybrid monkeys and hummingbirds. It was a joy to watch the baby red monkeys playing. We had fed a few too. The park is well kept, you won’t be there any longer than an hour.

Visited with our taxi driver who gave an informative commentary. Monkeys come running over for banana and nuts which you can buy at the entrance if you don't already have some. They take them very gently! Allow a couple of hours max for the trip, stick to the tracks and you would be fine even without a guide. Would definitely recommend as a short trip if your staying nearby

Lovely way to spend a few hours. The monkeys are so gentle when taking food from you. We had our taxi driver as our guide so he could tell us lots of information about the monkeys and the park. Well worth a visit especially if you’re staying in the area.

We visited with our driver. Entrance fee 300 dalasi each plus 100 dalasi for 2 bananas. Our driver bought groundnuts with him. It was a gentle, shady walk looking for the monkeys who were so gentle when talking food from your hands! We were told the place is now protected as half the land had been taken for the building of a conference centre 🥲 meaning the monkeys have decamped to local hotels (so watch your belongings when by the pool). If you don’t have a driver you can hire a guide and cost is anything between 500 & 1500 dalasi so be prepared to haggle. Everything is cash only!

Fantastic place, a must to see! You can walk round by yourself but I would definitely recommend having a guide walk you round. Our guide Dansa was brilliant, full of knowledge about the monkeys, the trees etc. Definitely recommend this treat of an experience!
