PRIVATE TOUR GAMBIA AND NIOKOLO-KOBA NATIONAL PARK SENEGAL 15 DAYS
This program is flexible and depends on transport, local conditions, availability of camps and the latest sightings.
Please let us know in advance what you want us to focus on (spotting, photography, nature, culture) so we can take this into account.
You will travel together with a certified English-speaking bird guide, who is also trained to guide photographers.
During this tour, we travel to Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal, a vast biosphere reserve, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and the most important park in Senegal, covering an area of 9000 square kilometres. The park is crossed by the Gambia River and two tributaries, the Niokolokoba and the Koulountou, water sources that give life to no less than 80 mammal species and 350 bird species.
