Bijilo Forest Park, also known as Monkey Park, is a protected coastal reserve offering a serene escape into nature. The park features well-marked sandy trails that wind through dense forest, open grassland, and along the Atlantic coastline. Visitors frequently encounter troops of monkeys, including the striking red colobus, as well as various bird species. The park's quiet atmosphere and shaded paths make it perfect for a leisurely hike or birdwatching session. Its proximity to Bakau's hotels and the beach adds to its appeal as a half-day excursion.

Don't miss

  • Spotting green vervet monkeys and red colobus monkeys along the trails
  • Walking the 2.5 km loop through coastal woodland and savannah habitats
  • Enjoying ocean views from the park's beachside boardwalk
