- Katchikally Crocodile Pool - The Kachikally Crocodile Pool is one of three revered crocodile pools in the Gambia. The crocodile symbolizes fertility, and these sacred sites are still used for rituals by women facing challenges with conception. The legend of crocodiles bestowing fertility dates back 500 years when the Bojang family first settled in the area. It is believed that the fertility spirit rewarded their kindness by gifting them a magical pool, which they populated with wildlife, including two crocodiles. Locals believe that the current crocodiles are descendants of the original pair.
Kachikally Crocodile Pool is situated within six acres of lush tropical forest, offering numerous nature trails and footpaths for those wishing to explore more of the park.
