Notes:
- An asterisk (*) shows days when an expert birds & wildlife guide (+ vehicle) will be available up-country.
- Most "Discover the River" clients are quite independent and enjoy the balance between spending time
as a group and "doing your own thing".
- Keen birdwatchers can pre-book a guided visit to favourite coastal hotspots such as Abuko, Brufut Woods,
Tanji, Marakissa etc. The price of such a day trip including transport and expert guide is £35 per person
(minimum of 2 people; maximum group size 8-10 people).
- The staff at Bird Safari Camp offer a range of activities which are included in the price (e.g. Djembe tuition,
cooking lessons, village visit, drums & dance). No need to book this in advance - simply discuss with your guide
what you'd like to do once you get there.
- Fishing trips should be booked in advance, to guarantee availability. The price of a day's boat charter (suggested maximum of 2-3 anglers
per boat) is £100 at Bird Safari Camp (tiger fishing) and £150 at the coast (sea/creek fishing). Includes bait,
tackle, fuel, expert local skipper and (for coastal trips) transport to and from your coastal accommodation.
- Longer stays and/or customised itineraries can be arranged - ask for details.
- Upon booking and paying your deposit of £100 pp, you will receive one free copy of the Bradt guide book to The Gambia per party.
- All prices exclude flights which we do not sell. However, if you let us know which flight you're
on, we will pick you up and drop you off at the airport.
