The colourful birdlife of West Africa is perfectly represented in the tiny Republic of The Gambia. As on many conventional sunshine holidays, this birdwatching tour begins at a beach hotel near the capital, Banjul. However, after introductory birdwatching in the surrounding areas, we head by road and boat along the Gambia River, stopping at conveniently located camps to facilitate exploration of the riverine forests and swamps. Egyptian Plover is just one of the highlights of this excursion but the long bird list for the holiday will include a staggering variety of African species augmented by Paleactic migrants in their winter quarters. This tour can either be 11 or 12 days - please check the individual departure dates.

The tiny West African republic of The Gambia is widely recognised as an ideal country in which to gain an introduction to the diverse and colourful birdlife of the African continent, as evidenced by the increasing numbers of European birdwatchers taking advantage of The Gambia's unique accessibility. There is a friendly, easy going atmosphere in the country and a happy combination of superlative birdwatching and a warm sunny climate make it an ideal holiday destination. We begin this exciting tour at an hotel on the palm-fringed Atlantic coast then travel along the length of the Gambia River, stopping at strategically situated camps along the way to sample the changing birdlife at each locality. The range of potential species includes huge Goliath Herons, Pink-backed Pelicans and other waterbirds, a splendid variety of raptors and such typically African beauties as Red-throated and Carmine Bee-Eaters. One of the highlights of any tour to The Gambia is the handsome Egyptian Plover and we will be hoping to see this confiding wader near the Senegal border before beginning our return journey to Banjul. With much of West Africa either in political turmoil or very expensive to visit, The Gambia remains an astonishing bargain for travellers and although many holiday-makers seek no more than the guaranteed winter sunshine, the more intrepid will find many examples of fascinating African culture in the rural heart of the country, where the latest European fashions and music have little part to play in the daily life of the villages.


There is arguably no better place than The Gambia to dip your toes into the rich pool of African bird diversity — and, indeed, into tropical Africa itself. The hotel gardens are awash with a myriad of colourful birds, whilst away from the resorts that line the coast, the forests, mangroves, rivers and grasslands are home to a suite of iconic African species, including Egyptian Plover, African Finfoot and Northern Carmine Bee-eater. From the swaying palm trees to the 'characterful' roads used by every conceivable type of transport to the vibrant mass of humanity imbued with an inherent friendliness. The Gambia is quintessentially African and offers a wonderful introduction to the continent's abundant wildlife and vibrant culture.


We begin our holiday with a flight to Banjul and three nights on The Gambia's Atlantic coastline. During breakfast we can admire our hotel's wonderful variety of garden birds including dazzling sunbirds, glossy starlings, rollers, the beautiful Yellow-crowned Gonolek and finch-like birds, such as the pastel-blue Red-cheeked Cordonbleu. Although it will be hard to tear ourselves away, the beaches, creeks and lagoons along the coast offer yet more avian delights and here we can enjoy an abundance of herons, egrets, gulls, terns and waders. Among them are such species as Senegal Thick-knee and both Spur-winged and Wattled Lapwings, plus Grey-headed and Slender-billed Gulls and Osprey.


The Gambia's coastal belt is clothed in an impressive mix of habitats, such as scrub, dry woodland and evergreen forest, home to an impressive range of doves, shrikes, gamebirds, warblers, weavers, bulbuls and other classic African bird families. During our time here we will include a visit to sections of gallery forest where Violet and Green Turacos live, alongside such gems as Western Bluebill, Bearded Barbet and Red-bellied Paradise Flycatcher, Blue-bellied Roller and Red-necked Falcon are possible too.


Next, we will begin an exciting adventure up the Gambia River on a 6-day odyssey into the very heart of the country, a journey that will take us to within a few miles of its easternmost border with Senegal. On the first day, we head east as far as Tendaba Camp for an overnight stay, stopping along the way at, for example, Kampanti or Brumen Bridges, reliable sites for raptors including Lanner Falcon, Grasshopper Buzzard, Beaudouin's and Brown Snake Eagles, or even a Bateleur or Martial Eagle, classic African predators. At Tendaba Camp itself we will take a boat trip through the mangroves in search of such birds as African Finfoot, White-backed Night Heron, African Blue Flycatcher and Mangrove Sunbird.


Moving on, our base for the following three nights will be the simple Bansang River Camp on the banks of the River Gambia, which we will use as a jumping-off point for several exciting expeditions. The varied habitats within easy reach are sure to offer plenty of exciting birds, including Yellow-billed Oxpecker, Yellow-crowned Bishop, Cut-throat Finch, White-crested Helmet-Shrike, Pygmy Sunbird, Mottled Spinetail and Northern Yellow White-eye to name but a few.


We will take a day trip to Basse Santa Su for one of the ornithological highlights of the tour. For many years this small riverside town has been a famous 'stakeout' for The Gambia's most sought-after bird species, the striking Egyptian Plover, one of the world's most iconic waders whose plumage is a tasteful shade of pale grey and apricot with black and white stripes. Egyptian Plovers can be wonderfully tame and often allow close-up views on their favoured muddy creeks, sometimes right in the middle of town! On the same day, we will visit the nearby Prufu Swamp, home to another Gambian icon, the Northern Carmine Bee-eater! Even these breathtakingly beautiful birds can be outdone, however, by one of their close relatives, the Red-throated Bee-eater, a bird at which a paintbox has been thrown. There is often a colony of these wonderful birds at Bansang Quarry. and at the same location we have a chance of finding one of the best-named birds of the holiday, the 'Exclamatory Paradise Whydah'!


We will break the journey back to Banjul with another night at Tendaba Camp. Following a final three nights birdwatching in the varied habitats along the Gambian coastline, we will return to Banjul Airport for our flight home.

                                    [introduction] => A stay at Mandina Lodges is a tranquil and unique experience. There are nine beautifully designed lodges built both on dry land and on stilts or floating in a mangrove-fringed tributary, all set within 1,000 acres of the fabulous Makasutu Cultural Forest, each maintaining an exclusive yet slightly rustic feel. All are built to a high standard, largely from local materials, and are extremely impressive and comfortable. There is an inviting freeform pool, as well as an al fresco bar and dining area. As you would expect in this rural setting, the lodges come equipped with fewer practicalities than mainstream hotels, however we believe this simply adds to the charm of the lodges and offers an authentic bush experience. Each lodge provides mosquito nets over the beds, as well as ceiling fans to keep guests cool. One need not venture far from the lodge to encounter some of the Gambia’s famed avian inhabitants, including such delights as African Golden Oriole, Yellow-fronted Tinkerbird, Bearded Barbet, White-throated Bee-eater, Little Bee-eater, Pied and Blue-breasted Kingfisher, Green-headed, Scarlet-chested and Beautiful Sunbirds, Northern Crombec and Violet Turaco.

                                    [introduction] => Located in the centre of Kotu, close to the rolling waves of the Atlantic, the African-style Bakotu Lodge provides simple yet comfortable accommodation. Set within its own mature tropical gardens, near to a babbling creek, and with its own bird viewing platform over the Kotu Stream Basin and nature trail, Bakotu is a great choice for keen naturalists. The gardens are alive with birds, monkeys visit by day and, with a bit of luck on one’s side, genets can occasionally be seen after the sun sets.  
Accommodation is provided in en suite rooms with private terrace or patio. Rooms are relatively basic yet practical, and air conditioning and fans can be arranged if required. Alternatively, guests may choose to stay in one of the lodge’s apartments, located within a more private setting overlooking the Kotu Creek Basin, each with private terrace.  
The hotel offers two restaurants; the Captain’s Table; a lovely fresh seafood restaurant where one can select a table under the stars on a clear night, and the Baobab Restaurant, named after the holy baobab tree outside the hotel. The Barendengo Bar offers pool-side drinks. There are also a number of external restaurants within easy reach of the hotel, as well as a local craft market to explore.

                                    [introduction] => Located near to Kiang West National Park, which supports an enticing array of avifauna, Tendaba Camp is simple and rustic, with a relaxed atmosphere. It is certainly a basic camp, and those in search of luxury might like to think carefully before choosing this option; however it offers satisfactory, riverside accommodation for those keen birders who appreciate the opportunity to immerse themselves deep within the Gambian forests. Rooms here are provided in African-style thatched huts (‘rondavels’) and are simple but clean, with basic en-suite facilities, and power is provided by a generator during the evenings and early mornings. There is a restaurant serving good food, as well as cool drinks to enjoy at the end of the day, whilst looking out over the peaceful water ambling along its slow course and reminiscing about the day’s sightings.

                                    [introduction] => Set within the small village of Batokunki, along a 6km stretch of white sandy beach by the beautiful Atlantic coast, the White Horse Residence offers a wonderful opportunity for total relaxation at the start or end of a Gambian adventure, in a supremely welcoming environment. One might choose to wander along the beach, watching the pelicans of Tanji Pelican island dipping and diving as they fish, visit some of the local shops for souvenirs, or perhaps unwind in the hotel’s tranquil grounds with a drink or good book; the perfect place for listening to birdsong and the sounds of the ocean. The sea remains a pleasant temperature year-round and is calm enough for swimming.
Accommodation is offered in six bungalows dotted around the gardens, a private bedroom in the main house and a two-bedroom villa with sea views, each with en-suite facilities, fans (air conditioning is not required as nights here are pleasantly cool), private terrace and lovely views. There is a refreshing outdoor swimming pool, and plenty of space for taking in some sunshine on the ocean view terrace which, incidentally, offers some of the best sunset views in town. Guests can dine at the hotel’s restaurant or may choose to visit one of the many lovely nearby restaurants and bars.

                                    [introduction] => Visitors to Ngala Lodge will be welcomed like family to this wonderful, high-end boutique hotel. Each of the 24 luxurious and well-proportioned suites is uniquely decorated in a modern yet welcoming style; some even have a private terrace, pool or jacuzzi.  The hotel caters only for adults meaning its lush tropical gardens and ocean-view swimming pool offer the chance for total relaxation in a beautiful and romantic setting. The hotel’s restaurant perches atop a cliff, allowing for some simply breathtaking ocean views, although this certainly does not detract from the truly delicious menu. Utilising fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, and with an ever-changing array of wonderful daily dishes, the hotel’s chef is highly regarded, with fresh fish a particular favourite.

                                    [introduction] => Accommodation for visitors to the Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Project is provided at a nearby camp. Rooms comprise four raised safari-style tents, each with twin beds covered with mosquito nets. This is by no means a five-star establishment; facilities are indeed basic, with no mains electricity or air conditioning. Bathrooms are shared between two tents, and comprise a hand basin, composting toilet and outdoor shower, with water heated by the sun, so one can expect quite a refreshing start to the morning! However, for those happy with ‘roughing it’ for a couple of nights, the chance to visit and learn more about the Rehabilitation Project more than makes up for the lack of luxury, and dinner by candlelight under a sky dazzling with stars, surrounded by the nocturnal sounds of the forest, is a wonderful experience. Visitors to the Camp can also enjoy nocturnal forest walks in search of bushbabies, and morning bird walks.  
We would recommend a minimum of a two-night stay to allow one to fully appreciate all that this opportunity has to offer. Please do note that the safari tents, river and restaurant at the camp are accessed by a high number of steps – although this allows for incredible, far-reaching views, the camp is not recommended for those with limited mobility.

                                    [introduction] => Set in a peaceful, forested and waterfront area on the outskirts of the traditional village of Toubakouta, Les Palétuviers Boutique Hotel is a lovely base from which to experience Senegal’s laid back atmosphere, and to explore the surrounding beaches, forests and wildlife. There is a lovely relaxing pool and outdoor seating area, a colourful and traditional-style restaurant serving delicious French-inspired Senegalese cuisine, a friendly bar, and even a fitness suite for those looking to burn off some energy. Rooms are located in an array of thatched bungalows and buildings in the shade of the trees. We recommend however, upgrading to the Baobab Suite; a unique treehouse high in the canopy of a great Baobab tree, with superb views over the mangroves and water - you will not be disappointed!
With a journey time of only three hours between the two, a stay at Les Palétuviers works well as an extension to time spent at Mandina Lodges.

What does this mean?

Highlights

  • Great introduction to African birds plus Palearctic migrants: West African birding at its best!
  • Travel upriver to search for Egyptian Plover
  • Glimpses of Gambian village life
  • Direct flights, no time difference and tropical winter sunshine!

Summary

The tiny West African republic of The Gambia is widely recognised as an ideal country in which to gain an introduction to the diverse and colourful birdlife of the African continent, as evidenced by the increasing numbers of European birdwatchers taking advantage of The Gambia's unique accessibility. There is a friendly, easy going atmosphere in the country and a happy combination of superlative birdwatching and a warm sunny climate make it an ideal holiday destination. We begin this exciting tour at an hotel on the palm-fringed Atlantic coast then travel along the length of the Gambia River, stopping at strategically situated camps along the way to sample the changing birdlife at each locality. The range of potential species includes huge Goliath Herons, Pink-backed Pelicans and other waterbirds, a splendid variety of raptors and such typically African beauties as Red-throated and Carmine Bee-Eaters. One of the highlights of any tour to The Gambia is the handsome Egyptian Plover and we will be hoping to see this confiding wader near the Senegal border before beginning our return journey to Banjul. With much of West Africa either in political turmoil or very expensive to visit, The Gambia remains an astonishing bargain for travellers and although many holiday-makers seek no more than the guaranteed winter sunshine, the more intrepid will find many examples of fascinating African culture in the rural heart of the country, where the latest European fashions and music have little part to play in the daily life of the villages.

There is arguably no better place than The Gambia to dip your toes into the rich pool of African bird diversity — and, indeed, into tropical Africa itself. The hotel gardens are awash with a myriad of colourful birds, whilst away from the resorts that line the coast, the forests, mangroves, rivers and grasslands are home to a suite of iconic African species, including Egyptian Plover, African Finfoot and Northern Carmine Bee-eater. From the swaying palm trees to the 'characterful' roads used by every conceivable type of transport to the vibrant mass of humanity imbued with an inherent friendliness. The Gambia is quintessentially African and offers a wonderful introduction to the continent's abundant wildlife and vibrant culture.

We begin our holiday with a flight to Banjul and three nights on The Gambia's Atlantic coastline. During breakfast we can admire our hotel's wonderful variety of garden birds including dazzling sunbirds, glossy starlings, rollers, the beautiful Yellow-crowned Gonolek and finch-like birds, such as the pastel-blue Red-cheeked Cordonbleu. Although it will be hard to tear ourselves away, the beaches, creeks and lagoons along the coast offer yet more avian delights and here we can enjoy an abundance of herons, egrets, gulls, terns and waders. Among them are such species as Senegal Thick-knee and both Spur-winged and Wattled Lapwings, plus Grey-headed and Slender-billed Gulls and Osprey.

The Gambia's coastal belt is clothed in an impressive mix of habitats, such as scrub, dry woodland and evergreen forest, home to an impressive range of doves, shrikes, gamebirds, warblers, weavers, bulbuls and other classic African bird families. During our time here we will include a visit to sections of gallery forest where Violet and Green Turacos live, alongside such gems as Western Bluebill, Bearded Barbet and Red-bellied Paradise Flycatcher, Blue-bellied Roller and Red-necked Falcon are possible too.

Next, we will begin an exciting adventure up the Gambia River on a 6-day odyssey into the very heart of the country, a journey that will take us to within a few miles of its easternmost border with Senegal. On the first day, we head east as far as Tendaba Camp for an overnight stay, stopping along the way at, for example, Kampanti or Brumen Bridges, reliable sites for raptors including Lanner Falcon, Grasshopper Buzzard, Beaudouin's and Brown Snake Eagles, or even a Bateleur or Martial Eagle, classic African predators. At Tendaba Camp itself we will take a boat trip through the mangroves in search of such birds as African Finfoot, White-backed Night Heron, African Blue Flycatcher and Mangrove Sunbird.

Moving on, our base for the following three nights will be the simple Bansang River Camp on the banks of the River Gambia, which we will use as a jumping-off point for several exciting expeditions. The varied habitats within easy reach are sure to offer plenty of exciting birds, including Yellow-billed Oxpecker, Yellow-crowned Bishop, Cut-throat Finch, White-crested Helmet-Shrike, Pygmy Sunbird, Mottled Spinetail and Northern Yellow White-eye to name but a few.

We will take a day trip to Basse Santa Su for one of the ornithological highlights of the tour. For many years this small riverside town has been a famous 'stakeout' for The Gambia's most sought-after bird species, the striking Egyptian Plover, one of the world's most iconic waders whose plumage is a tasteful shade of pale grey and apricot with black and white stripes. Egyptian Plovers can be wonderfully tame and often allow close-up views on their favoured muddy creeks, sometimes right in the middle of town! On the same day, we will visit the nearby Prufu Swamp, home to another Gambian icon, the Northern Carmine Bee-eater! Even these breathtakingly beautiful birds can be outdone, however, by one of their close relatives, the Red-throated Bee-eater, a bird at which a paintbox has been thrown. There is often a colony of these wonderful birds at Bansang Quarry. and at the same location we have a chance of finding one of the best-named birds of the holiday, the 'Exclamatory Paradise Whydah'!

We will break the journey back to Banjul with another night at Tendaba Camp. Following a final three nights birdwatching in the varied habitats along the Gambian coastline, we will return to Banjul Airport for our flight home.
