An interesting day out for nature lovers

Departure by car to Lamin, where there is an impressive large tree with texts from visitors from all over the world, also called the Internet three. Learn about the process of processing the oysters and shells that are spread out here. The oysters grow on the roots of the mangrove. Women harvest the oysters in their small canoes. Then we take a small boat tour through the beautiful mangrove.
Then we arrive in Daranka, where there is the largest Silk Cotton or Elephant Tree in Gambia, so big that you can even climb into it. The tree is still used for traditional rituals today. A special piece of Gambia's nature.
Take a photo at the tree, like a real Photo Booth.

For those who want to discover the real “Gambian” life

Join us for the two-day excursion for the real adventurers! The tour starts early with a pick-up at the hotel. We drive through small villages and past rice fields and get a good impression of authentic Gambia. The first stop is in Jara soma, a transit point for people and goods, where we will eat a local breakfast. Along the way we visit the “Stone Circles”, one of the UNESCO Heritage Sites of Gambia. Here a local guide tells you more about the mysterious Stone Circles. Before we go on the boat, we have lunch in Janjanbureh. Once on the boat, accompanied by an experienced captain and a ranger, we will take a beautiful boat trip through River Gambia National Park and spot chimpanzees, hippos and various species of birds.

We take a small city tour through Georgetown, where you visit the local population and the slave houses, and spend the night in an attractive lodge on the river. In the evening you will dine at the camp in a typical African ambiance. During a delicious breakfast we can enjoy the beautiful view and the sunrise. We start the return journey to the hotel via another beautiful rural route.

If you haven't been to Georgetown then you haven't seen Gambia!
