Kunkilling Forest Park in
Gambia |
|
|
Introduction:
The forest park of Kunkilling is located in a village called Kerr
Serrekunda on southern bank of The Gambia opposite the eastern end of
Janjangbureh island and within 10 minutes by car of Sankulay Kunda.
Its geographical coordinates are N 13° 31' 28'' W 14° 42' 0''.
An excellent example of riverine type woodland has in recent years
been set up as a conservation area.
The area is well worth paying a visit to for
birdwatchers who can spot
red-necked falcons perching on the rhun palms and African finfoots
scratching around for food around the screw pine trees. Other species
includes Adamawa Turtle Doves and the Banded Martin.
There is a fee of about £2.50 to enter the Kunkilling Forest and
tickets are available from the Gambia's Forestry Division office on the north
island. They can be reached on tel: 567 6200.
