Excursions
Pick up from the hotels and drive to the first village in the South of the Country, Sukuta Village. Here we visit the local fish/vegetable market. This gives you a real taste of Africa and shows the daily shopping and selling of the local people, as markets are open every day and people in the Gambia always buy fresh food on a daily basis. This is because not all people here can afford fridges or live in very rural areas where there is no electricity.
The Fathala Game Park is located at 12 Kilometres of the North of The Gambian / Senegalese border in Senegal.
A trip for birdwatchers! As said by ornithologists all over the world, The Gambia is considered to be a paradise for birdwatchers. More than 500 birds live in the reserve; varieties of monkeys can be seen as well as crocodiles. Walking on for about an hour will bring you to the Abuko Nature Reserver where you can see hyenas, reptiles, antelopes, bush ducks, crown cranes and many more animals.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Come with us and step into 5 centuries of history tracing the origins of Kunta Kinteh, The Gambian who was taken to the Americas.
This is an exclusive and quality day on a 60ft modern Gambian styled pirogue.
An early start is needed as the drive takes just under one hour to the Makasutu cultural forest. You will be picked up from your respective hotels around 08:00 AM.
This trip will last for about half the day, up till about 2-3. The first stop of the tour will be at Serrekunda, the largest town in the country, where you will visit the ‘tie and dye’ batik factory. After having a look at the batik’s, the drive continues to the sacred crocodile pool in Bakau, where you will have an inside visit of the traditional museum before walking around the pool. Afterwards, we head to the capital, Banjul, where the guide explains the history of the surrounding area and the city stopping at the National Museum followed by the Albert’s Market, where African Souvenirs can be purchased.
This is an excursion which takes you over 300 KM into The Gambia and it also gives you a chance of seeing most parts of the country and seeing very old monuments, the famous Stone Circles for example.
The day starts with an early pickup from the hotels taking us to Banjul to catch up with the ferry. A 35-minute ferry crossing takes us to the north bank of the River Gambia at Barra. Our first visit will be at Fort Bullen which was established by the British in 1823 for the abolition of the Slave Trade. There will be a guided tour within the fort premises and the guide will point out the strategic location of the fort and how it played an important role during the abolition of the slave trade. Few minutes of driving will then take us to Jerreh Camp which is situated in the dense forest of Niumi, in the North Bank Region of the mouth of River Gambia where we will observe the processing of the Palm Wine and Palm Oil. A taste of the jungles Palm Wine (Jungle Juice) will be experienced.

I would like to thank Gambia Tours for their great hospitality and service especially as a woman who customized a private trip alone to Senegal from The Gambia by road. Both the driver Abdulie and guide Pa makan were very respectful, flexible, friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and took good care of my safety. They both made sure i had a great time and that i was satisfied with everything that i wanted to see and do. I enjoyed listening to all the historical and geographical knowledge Pa makan had to share and i learnt a lot from his life experiences. The hotels and transportation provided by Gambia Tours were also great and i would choose them again next time for sure
We had a great trip on your Roots tour. It was very well organised and extremely interesting. Our tour guide Zac was very knowledgeable and looked after us very well. We appreciated the refund you gave to our daughter and granddaughter as they were unable to continue with the tour. It was much appreciated and we shall certainly recommend you to other travellers.
Hello, We stayed at the Kairaba Hotel from 20-27 January and took the Roots Tour with you booked via Thomas Cook. I want to thank you for an excellent day out and in particular our appreciation for your Guide Baba.He was excellent and very knowledgeable and made the day very special. Please pass on our thanks to him & Gambia Tours.
Hi there just to say thanks for making my visit great once again. Truck tour and lazy day cruise were spot on and your guides excellent. Look forward to my next visit as soon as possible.
With sincere gratitude with all of my heart, I express appreciation at the services offered. The attitude and calmness of all the staffs of Gambia Tours were second to none. The ever cheerful Mrs. Christine, she's such a charmer, the tour guides Hassan and Ibrahim and the various drivers who chauffeured us to our various destinations. The trip wouldn't be complete without sending this mail. Definitely I'd come to Gambia in the soonest future, it's definitely gonna have to be via Gambia Tours. Thanks
In my opinion Gambia Tours is simply the best. In every business what matters most amongst others is integrity and this is something Gambia Tours has in abundance. Please keep up your high standard in everything.
We chose our holiday to Gambia with Gambia Tours. The service was great. The vehicles are air conditioned, and clean and up to date. My wife and I went on an excursion called Lazy Day Cruise; this was such a relaxing day. Thank you Gambia Tours for such a great holiday. See you soon
Our vacation was great! Senegambia hotel was very good, the food was great and the weather was great. All of the transfers and vouchers were no problem at all. The trip was absolutely seamless. All Gambia Tours services were excellent as well. I would recommend your services to anyone. Hope to return someday, perhaps when something special is offered. Thanks again for your help. I appreciated your quick responses to my questions before the trip. It was great having no "surprises". (Stayed in from December 7th to 14th, 2012)
