South Gambia Safari

Meet the locals! Discover the real Gambia and its friendly people in a truck

Don't miss the south of The Gambia. With a jeep or a 4x4 car with air conditioning, this interesting tour goes to the south of the country to get to know southern Gambia and its inhabitants. First stop is Kachikally the sacred crocodile pool. This location is used to perform fertility rituals.
We then visit the Serekunda market. A gigantic market, where you can buy anything, from clothing to mobile phones, spices and other food. We continue our way to Abuko livestock market, where there is a lot of trading, especially goats and sheep. The Fulani are real cattle traders. After the market we go to Paradise beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Gambia. Take a refreshing dip in the ocean, order a fresh lobster or fresh fish, but a local dish with chicken, meat or fish is of course also possible. Lunch is not included.
The final stop and a highlight of the tour is the fishing village of Tanji. At the end of the day the boats come in and it is a true spectacle. You will see that daily life is completely devoted to fishing. Tanji is the largest fishing port in Gambia and important for exports to Senegal, among others.
A full, versatile day that you should not miss.

Astonishing!

Overall unbelievable experience! We went on 3 excursions with Aladin from River Gambia Tours: and it was so breathtaking. Firstly, we went to Jangjangbureh where you will be enlightened with knowledge concerning slavery and other thoughtful topics. After we went to see the hippos and food markets, we slept by the Gambia River in a lovely lodge. The next excursion was to Senegal (park Fatalah) where we saw zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, etc. living freely in an astonishing nature. I never saw majestic animals this happy! The route with the open jeep to Fatalah was also memorable: you can stand up and witness lots of beautiful Senegal. Lastly, we went to Makasutu (the sacred forest) this was a crazy experience as well. You will see lots of monkeys from close by! Also, a lot of valuable information concerning plants and nature. We even drank fresh palm wine straight from the tree!
I just cannot describe how much I was enlightened with joy and information during these 3 tours. Last but not least: I want to thank Aladin. Aladin is such a funny, friendly guide (you will love him!). He even helped us with troubles regarding our flight, which are not included in the ‘tours’. Without Aladin, we wouldn’t have seen the real Gambia. I am very thankful to have someone so witty on our beautiful voyage.
Thank you for everything, Aladin! And let each one, teach one. <3
