The day starts at Katchically crocodile pool where we may be fortunate to see ‘Charlie’ the crocodile featured in several British TV programmes. The history of this holy place will be told to you by your guide.
The next stop will be the Botanical Gardens where a variety of African flora and fauna are to be found, a guide is on hand for information and to answer any queries you may have. Moving on to Bakau Craft Market to see craftsmen at work and an opportunity to buy the exquisite wooden carvings produced. A welcome stop for refreshments will be at one of the local bars where you can buy a Julbrew, soft drink or water.
From here we move on to Serrekunda, the most densely populated town in The Gambia to see the skill and fascinating process of producing tie-dye and batik cottons. Next the hustle and bustle of Serrekunda market where the locals do their shopping from a vast array of goods necessary for everyday life.
On our return journey we will visit the school for the blind before being dropped off at the hotels by around 2pm.
