Jeep Safari

This is not like any other jeep safari you might have been on this is West Africa and we live in the sub-Sahara! Pick Up starts from 09:00 from the various hotels. When all the pick-ups are done we depart for Sukuta (which means new settlement in Mandinka) to see the local market and mosque in this southern region of The Gambia.

Your drive then takes you through farming areas and forest parks and a stop is made to walk through the forest where vegetation, flora and monkeys can be seen.

A refreshment stop is made at Yuna village, where you visit the palm wine tappers "uncle johns." The palm wine "sum sum" a brand wine is served and demonstration is made of how both wines are made and done.

Tanje Village Museum is your next stop, which is a unique place where the natural history and traditional culture of the Gambia is presented in an interesting and accessible way to tourists, Gambians, local inhabitants and school groups.

On route you also visit Sanyang Primary School, a stopover to see how education in Gambian Villages is teached and developed.

We then proceed to the beach for lunch where you can relax soak up some of the sun and have a swim for a couple of hours until around 16:00 HRS.

A drive along the coast is a beautiful site and along the way you pass by many fishing villages, one being Tanje fishing village one of the busiest in the area. Here you see the men taking in their daily catch and the women gathering and cleaning the fish.

Drop off at the hotels follows when you come to the end of the beach journey just at the edge of the hotel area in Senegambia.

This is a truly relaxing and cultural experience, enjoy!!
