The Tourist Attractions of Farafenni:
Kiang West National Park
The Kiang West National park is not far from Farafenni to the west, though you will have to cross the river to get there. This park is a mix of ecosystems that include wetlands, the Gambia River, forests and open grasslands. It is an excellent park to see reptiles but aside from the many crocodiles, you can also see warthogs, antelope, wild cats and manatees.
River Gambia National Park
You will have to travel farther inland to get to the River Gambia National Park but there is a main road heading there from Farafenni so the trip should be relatively smooth. The park is made up of five large islands in a tight bend of the river. Part of the park is made up of a protected primate reserve and has no access for tourists. But you can stop at the chimp rehab centre on the mainland or take a boat cruise around the islands to see the animals from the water. Aside from the plentiful chimpanzees, you can also see crocodiles, hippos, colobus monkeys, aardvarks, and the occasional river porpoise.
Lumo Market
Lumo Market is the weekly outdoor market in Farafenni where many of the local residents go for fresh produce and other goods. It’s on the outskirts of town, near the stadium and is a great place to do some browsing and see some authentic Gambian lifestyle.
Niumi National Park
If you are heading back to the west toward the coast, you should stop at the Niumi National Park, which is just across the mouth of the river from Bakau and Banjul. It is a wetlands park filled with mangrove forests and marshes. Bird-watching is very popular throughout the park, and you may also see dolphins, manatees, crocodiles, otters and herds of small forest antelope.
