A curated private tour of Banjul's landmark sites: the triumphal Arch 22 gateway, the National Museum's colonial and pre-colonial collections, and the sacred Kachikally Crocodile Pool, alive with Nile crocodiles and Mandinka ritual.
What to expect
Your private air-conditioned vehicle collects you dockside. Arch 22 offers panoramic views over Banjul from its rooftop platform — your guide explains the 1994 coup it commemorates with candid local perspective. The National Museum's exhibits span the Senegambian stone circles to British colonial rule. At Kachikally, you may touch a sacred crocodile — a potent Mandinka fertility blessing that few visitors elsewhere in the world can claim.
Good to know
This half-day tour (3–4 hours) fits easily within most port calls. Arch 22 tower access requires a small additional fee — factor this in. Albert Market is a natural add-on for the finale; Arch-Tours can arrange this on request. Smart-casual dress is respectful at the crocodile pool shrine.
