GROUP TOUR GAMBIA 12 DAYS / 17.02.2023 - 28.02.2023
The Gambia River runs straight through the country and there are many sandy beaches along the Gambian coast.
The delta of the Gambia River is swampy with mangrove vegetation. The north of Gambia has a savannah landscape with long grasses, bushes and trees. South of the Gambia River begins the forest savannah. The birds in Gambia are good to photograph and much less shy than in Europe.
We start at the coast and follow the Gambia River far inland in search of the most beautiful birds in various habitats.
More than 680 species of birds have been observed in The Gambia. However, we do not go for spotting as many species as possible, but mainly for capturing as many species as possible. This photography trip is guided by experts. We welcome photographers of any level of experience or equipment.
You will travel together with a certified English-speaking bird guide and driver.
This programme is flexible and depends on transport, local conditions, availability of camps and the latest observations.
