Things To Do: Wildlife
  • Tip Rating:
  • A country with a good variation on African Flora & fauna. For birdwatchers it is an easy country to see within short time a good variation of birds. A week for me dit no less then 239 species without very active birdwatching.
    Even at the area of Senegambia many birdspecies can be found that are elsewhere hard to find.
    In the country side we recorded 3 species of Monkeys, 2 species of rats, a African Hare and some deers!

    Things To Do: Local Guides
  • Tip Rating:
  • At the entrance of most hotels you find guides that will take you around. As far as my hobby concerned many poor and some good guides are around in The Gambia. This bloke on the picture together with my mate Wim is Mustapha Kassama and he can be reached at mustaphakassama@yahoo.com
    He is a friendly bloke that can show you many birds around the Kololi area but also we went with him inland, and did a tour with a jeep, and driver.
    The overall man that takes birders around and he can help you out is Salomon Jallow you can reach him at habitatafrica@hotmail.com he organises tours and is an expert guide. You can find below his website!

     Thanks for the useful tips about the Gambia. It remains on my wish list of places to visit particularly for the rich birdlife and African atmosphere. Mike
