A trip for birdwatchers! As said by ornithologists all over the world, The Gambia is considered to be a paradise for birdwatchers. Over 500 species can be seen in The Gambia.
This is a trip, which starts in the early hours of the morning and first takes us to Lamin Lodge, which is located on the famous creek, Lamin Creek. Here we stop for tea and coffee.
After drinks we all get into dug out canoes and paddle through the creeks trying not to disturb the birds and surrounding nature. This is truly a relaxing and enjoyable trip as the water and creeks are so calm and peaceful at this time of the day.
The trip on the creeks lasts about 1hour 30 minutes after which we head back to Lamin Lodge for a nice breakfast, which will be waiting for us upon arrival.
Following breakfast we will rejoin the coach and head to Abuko Nature Reserve. At the Nature Reserve you go on a forest walk and observation. You visit a traditional educational center, while passing loads of wildlife and plants. Many trees can be seen on your walk, which is very rare, to see today in our sub-region.
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 zoo where you can see hyenas, reptiles, antelopes, bush ducks, crown cranes and many more animals.
You then have the chance to buy some souvenirs at the entrance and have a drink to refresh before getting back onto the coach and heading for your respective hotels.
Enjoy!
Price: $60/per person

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)
