A sweating Jammeh is also seen walking, observing, weeding and relaxing in the thick bushes while being captured by cameras.
Yahya Jammeh has been actively involved in agriculture besides politics while he was president.
New Gambian President Adama Barrow has accused Jammeh of embezzling an estimated 85 million Euros during his 22-year rule which ended dramatically after his refusal to accept election results after he was beaten at the December 1 polls.
According to local media, the Gambian government will embark on a nationwide audit of the civil service and security forces to rid the country of corruption.
