Kachikally
Sacred Crocodile pool is one of the leading tourist
attractions in The
Gambia. There are over 80 crocodiles in and around the pool which was
founded over 500 years ago by the Bojang clan. The pool is said to
aid infertile women and bestow luck on individuals. The pool's crocodilian residents have since become so
tame, that they allow visitors to pet them, and seem to prefer fish over red meat.
There is also a museum, souvenir shop, a refreshment bar as
well as a 6 acre mini-forest which has a nature trail & is home to
many tropical bird species, local mammals & reptiles. Bakau Kachikally
is just a 10 minute walk to the golden beach at Cape Point and just 5
minutes walk to Bakau Tourist Craft Market.
