Farasuta Forest
Farasuto Forest is a relict patch of what might be described as ‘wet evergreen forest’ though the place is only really wet during the rains – broadly June to October. It is situated in Kuloro, Western District, The Gambia. A true forest has magnificent tall trees with buttress roots, darkness, heat, humidity, dense greenery and the inability to see more than a few metres down the track and often much less into the vegetation at your side. That is during the wet season. Shikra
