    • Really close to Kuntaur you have Wassu.This Wassu consists on an important pre historic place in the Gambia, but of course no Stonehenge. This is a circle of stones that seems to date from 1300AD to 750AD by some analisys made to found carbon. It seems that before the stones were actually there, the place was sacred and used to make rituals and used like a buriel site.

    • You can go for a walk outside the city limits and try to get some mangoes out of the trees. I think people will try to sell them to you, but you really want you can pick them of the trees.

    • This is the river inside the town. Its very easy to mosquitoes to grown here due to the large amount of places with small lakes, rivers and water. You can see children near the river. they bath there. and also they put their bathroom dejects to the rivers, and they can also bath on the river...arg!
