The Gambia is one of West Africa’s best destinations for bird watching, with wetlands, forests, rice fields, mangroves and savannah supporting an impressive variety of bird species. This is a private bird watching tour in The Gambia, suitable for experienced birders, photographers and anyone who simply enjoys wildlife and nature.
There is no fixed itinerary. I can create the tour around the best locations for the season, your available time and the birds or habitats you are most interested in. You can choose a short coastal birding trip, a full-day tour or a longer journey combining coastal and inland birding sites.
The tour is fully customizable and I’ll help you choose the best places to visit. It is a great way to discover some of the most interesting Gambia attractions and natural areas with a local guide in Gambia.
