Crocodile Pools:
Not only tourist attractions but are places that Gambians consider sacred. Childless Gambian women often visit to bath in the water, which they consider to hold the powers of fertility. Tourists go to see the hordes of crocodiles lying lazily on the banks. There are several crocodile pools sprinkled about the nation. One of the most famous is Katchically Crocodile Pool in Bakau (number 16 on the “Bakau to Serekunda area” map). Here, you can pet Charley, the friendly crocodile who seems to be indifferent to people. Since the crocodiles are fed daily, they are reasonably safe, though it still is important not to make any sudden movements when walking among them.
