I enjoyed the tour , the bird life was prolific other sightings included Hippos , Crocodiles and dolphins. I found the House of Slaves , on the island of Goree , fascinating . Trying the local food was interesting. The standard of hotels was pretty good , some better than others , I always had a decent bed , rooms clean & tidy , decent shower, hot water could be a bit erratic but you have to remember where you are. Breakfasts I thought were always good.
We were blessed with probably the best tour guide I have ever had - Mr Assan Saine. He always ensured and went out of his way to make everyone's trip a positive experience. Assan is also a very good birdwatcher. the driver - Serin - also deserves a shout out, driving over 3000 km very skilfully and carefully.
I changed about 200 Euros and still had money left over , meals in restaurants were reasonable .
If you aren't a birdwatcher or have an interest in birdlife this tour might not be for you, as its very much focused on that. I thought the tour was well organised , transfers to and from the airport were excellent.
