We shall depart our respective hotels at 6-7am in the morning, either crossing with the ferry at Banjul or driving through the trans Gambia highway.

A horse/donkey ride in the heart of the market for 30 minutes. We shall drive to Kaur for a lunch stop before proceeding to the Wassu stones circles (this use to be a burial ground for kings, queens, warriors and close relatives of the sovereigns of ancient Gambia). A museum is also on site that will educate you on Gambian history, especially regarding the mysteries behind the stone’s circles. The next stop takes us to Kuntaur, on a boat ride for 2 hours to spot different species of birds, monkeys, chimpanzees, hippos and crocodiles. A night stop at the Kuntaur lodge.
