Things to do in Bakau
One of West Africa’s most stunning regions, the Gambia is situated on the Atlantic Coast and is blessed with miles of palm-fringed white sand beaches. If you ever tire of lazy beach days, there are safaris, eco-tourism expeditions and national parks to enjoy, as well as water sports and general sightseeing.
Ocean Bay Hotel and Resort is located near to a number of unique attractions that should not be missed. For example, the Kachikally Crocodile Pool is a must-see. Makasutu Forest Park is also nearby, and the hotel can organise a jeep tour or walk through the forest, followed by a traditional African lunch.
Don’t miss James Island, where kidnapped slaves were kept before being transported to America and Europe. An informative museum and reconstructed slave house bring this chilling chapter of history to life.
The hotel can also organise city tours of Serrekunda, taking in its craft market, the Banjul National Museum, Gambian Art Gallery and the Tanji Birdwatching Forest. These excursions are perfect for groups.
Getting to Ocean Bay Hotel & Resort
