Roots (Kunta Kinteh)

An opportunity to step back in time!

After an early departure from the hotel, we take the ferry from Banjul to Barra – an experience on its own. In Barra, an open jeep will be waiting to take us on a scenic rural route to the village of Juffureh. The story of Kunta Kinteh is beautifully told in the book and film ROOTS by Alex Haley. The “Flag of Freedom” was raised at the moment slavery was abolished. You will also meet the village chief and visit the slavery museum, where the history is revealed step by step. On Kunta Kinteh Island, formerly known as St. James Island, we will explore the ruins of the fort and receive an explanation of the history of slavery.

South Gambia 4-in-1

We booked the Georgetown excursion (2 days) with River Gambia Tours and nothing has been said too much in the other reviews. Everything is well arranged and you feel completely safe with the wonderful guide Aladin. The drive there is long, but he tells you all about the country along the way and you make regular stops. The trip across the river is truly breathtaking, so beautiful. The overnight stay is primitive but also a great experience, especially breakfast the next morning with the monkeys around you, great!

In addition to this excursion, we also went with him on foot to the Crocodile Farm in Bakau and that was so much fun, after all, you don’t touch a crocodile every day :).

Aladin is entertaining, cheerful, neat and keeps his appointments. We highly recommend River Gambia Tours! Good luck Aladin and Tine!
