Senegal and The Gambia

Excellent variety in this tour. Tour leader Assan was outstanding in every department. Additional so was Usman, our driver. Great itinerary and loved the fact there were loads of boat trips! Excellent tour especially for bird watchers and nature lovers

The accommodation can be quite basic on this tour so be prepared but the amazing bird life makes it worth it. Our guide Assan was very knowledgeable and keen to show off his country (Gambia). As well as being a great wildlife spotter, he also taught us a lot about the history and culture of the region.

This trip to Senegal and The Gambia is excellent. Travel is mainly by boat, allowing great views of birds living along the rivers and waterways. The holiday was fast paced but not too much, allowing a few long days in the tour bus to travel to far flung parts of the country. We went off-piste miles from where tourists usually go, seeing several interesting places every day. Food and accommodation was of reasonable to excellent quality especially given basic conditions in some of the lodges. The tour guide was very helpful, well-organised and interesting.

An interesting itinerary which took us far away from the more popular tourist areas on the coast. We travelled on boats along rivers and through mangroves, seeing an abundance of bird life. We also had a glimpse of the life and culture of the two countries. Assan, our guide was excellent and helped make the trip so enjoyable - very knowledgeable and very professional.
