Gambia Reptile Farm, Reptile sanctuary in Brikama, Gambia
The facility houses numerous snakes, lizards, and tortoises in dedicated habitats, allowing visitors to observe these creatures in controlled conditions.
The farm began as a private institution collaborating with the Gambian government to safeguard reptiles displaced by regional development projects.
Through educational programs, the center changes local perceptions about reptiles while supporting research initiatives for Gambian wildlife preservation.
The sanctuary welcomes guests daily between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM, with an entrance fee of 300 Dalasis for guided tours.
Visitors can participate in supervised handling sessions with non-venomous snakes and learn about the reproduction methods of endangered tortoise species.
