 The Gambia is one of the smallest and safest countries in Africa. After only a 6 hours flight without any time difference you will arrive at Banjul on the Gambian Coast, which is as colorufully African as can image. The Gambia enjoys virtually uninterrupted sunshine with almost no rainfall from November to June, which makes this country a very good place to escape the cold and grey winter months in northern Europe. Birdlife is abundant and since in 1977 a Wildlife Act was passed for several areas in The Gambia, Which are now protected Nature Reserves. More than 540 birdspecies are recorded. During this trip we will spend half of the time in the Coastal Area and half of the time we will travel inland.  Travelling inland is still an experience because of very poor roads and absence of good accommodation. We can’t avoid it all, but doing it our way we reduced inconvenience as much as possible. Our daily schedule, adapted to the climatic conditions, will often look like this: Mornings we go out birding in one of the many Nature Reserves. For those who want to, there will be time to relax after lunch. In the late afternoon we go out again for a birding walk. For those who come to enjoy birding all day, our local guide will be happy to keep you company and to help you where necessary. At every place where we stay, there are good birding sites nearby. The design of this tour is ideal for couples, of which perhaps only one is really interested in birds.
