In the Katchikally Crocodile Park in Gambia you are literally surrounded by many crocodiles. That sounds scary, but it is not at all. In fact, it is one of the most popular sights in the Gambia holiday destination. The impressive animals are sacred to the Gambians and are therefore well cared for. With such well-fed animals, you don't have to worry about them nibbling on visitors. On the contrary, the crocodiles are so used to people that you can even pet them in the presence of the guides without any problems. The park is located in the far west of Gambia at the mouth of the river and close to all resort beaches. In addition to beautiful walking trails surrounded by exotic plants, the park also has a museum where you can learn more about the fascinating pangolins. Crocodiles in Gambia are also seen as a symbol of fertility and to aid in family planning. That's why some locals even take a dip in the park's swimming pool.
