Reptile Farm
The Gambia
.Located near Kartong Beach within a well-preserved forest, the Reptile Farm is home to a diverse collection of Gambian reptiles. Visitors can encounter species such as puff adders, rock pythons, royal pythons, sand snakes, spitting cobras, Nile monitor lizards, African mud turtles, and Senegalese chameleons, among others. The farm also houses non-reptiles like centipedes and millipedes. While some snakes are highly dangerous, others—like the tamed pythons—are safe to touch and even hold, with guidance from our knowledgeable local experts. Dangerous snakes are securely kept at a safe distance to ensure visitor safety.
