Mangrove Tour

Spend your day at the scenic riverside camp at the historic village of Bintang Bolong. Your transport will first take you to the Abuko Livestock Market and then to the Brikama woodcarver's market where you can make excellent bargains for some souvenirs.

Then proceed to Bintang, stopping briefly in a local school for a glimpse of The Gambia's education system. After lunch at the scenic restaurant on the river, you will board a local pirogue on a cruise on the Bintang Bolong - perhaps the best known of all the tributaries of The River Gambia.

You may be lucky to spot one of the very few salt water crocodiles in The Gambia. When you return to the camp , you will be free to swim or walk through the village to meet the people in their typical environment.

Treasure island

Perhaps the best spot in The Gambia! A deserted sprawling beach on an isolated island where the River Gambia meets the Atlantic Ocean.

The trip to the island starts with a crossing on a crowded public ferry, followed by a drive through small villages to the Island of Jinack, which is invariably called Paradise or Coconut Island.

A short boat ride takes you to your beach bar where you are served a delicious lunch. The rest of the afternoon is then yours to swim or sunbathe.

Janjangbureh Tour

This is a two-day trip to the heart of The Gambia and to the historic town of Janjangbureh (formerly Georgetown). The trip starts with a landrover or mini-bus ride along the south bank trunk road, stopping in a number of villages on the way.

After lunch at Tendaba Camp, you will proceed to Sapu to join your Gambian river craft on a pleasant early evening cruise to Janjangbureh Island. Overnight will be in the delightful Bird Safari Camp or Baobolong Camp.

An early breakfast the following morning followed by a visit to the ancient slave house, a trip to the prehistoric Stone Circles at Wassu. The return trip will take you through the cosmopolitan border town of Farafenni.

Gambian Market Tour

Market visits are always the best way to learn about a people and their culture. Visit the bustling Serrekunda market where you can literally buy anything under the sun. You will see lots of food stuff. Find out what Gambians put in their delicious food.

Gambian Sunset Cruise

A slow evening cruise in an African pirogue, through a maze of creeks. Many birds to spot. See the local women in their dugout canoes fetching oyster.
