Niokolo-Koba National Park

Niokolo-Koba protects savannah, gallery forest and habitats along the Gambia River. It is a separate destination from the Bedik and Bassari villages; plan travel and entry arrangements before combining visits. Park photographs document past observations; wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

Things to see and do

  • Ask park authorities which areas are accessible.
  • Explore varied landscapes along authorised routes.
  • Watch wildlife from a distance without feeding or following it.

Good to know

Confirm transport, entry conditions and required guidance with park authorities or an authorised operator.
