This trip will last for about half the day, up till about 2-3 PM. It is a trip to Banjul, the capital of The Gambia and its environments.
Like all countries in the world, the capital city is the center of activities.
Our first stop brings us to Serrekunda, which is the largest town in the country. Upon arrival at Serrekunda you visit the tie and dye batik factory owned by a Gambian lady called MUSU KEBBA DRAMMEH who has been in this job for over 30 years. Here we witness a display of the production of the batik. An hour is given to everyone to look around if shopping is needed. Prices here are very reasonable and prices can be negotiated if buying a couple of items.
Leaving Serekunda…
10 minutes’ drive will take us to the sacred crocodile pool in Bakau. Upon arrival, we have an inside visit of the traditional museum before walking around the pool. The local guides of the pool will give to you a briefed explanation of the existence of the pool and explain to you how local people benefits from it spiritually. Guests can stroke a crocodile but to be strictly supervised by a local guide.
Leaving Bakau….
We head towards the capital Banjul, where the guide explains the history of the surrounding area and the city. The first stop in Banjul is the National Museum. Your stop here is for about 45 minutes so lots of information on the culture, traditions, customs and history of our great capital can be taken in.
Proceeding into the capital we stop at St. Albert’s Market, which is a daily market that has clothes, crafts, food and many other African souvenirs that can be bought at very reasonable prices.
Lunch…
Lunch is served at the New Bacchus Restaurant where you will find some of the best African dishes served buffet style! Enjoy while you are facing the beach with its breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.
Before heading back to your hotel…
Have you ever seen a panoramic view of a city?
Our last stop is at Arch 22. This Arch was erected in honor of the July 22nd Revolution. The 37m high Arch is spectacular and a view of the whole city can be seen and its daily activities. Refreshment is served at the Arch before joining your vehicle for your return journey to your respective hotels

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)
