Malick Suso Tours
Malick Suso has over 20 years of experience birdwatching in The Gambia and knows the terrain and where to look for the rare species like no other. He's also been described by none other than Chris Packham as one of the very best bird watchers and guides in the whole of The Gambia. High praise indeed!
For Winter 2010, for the first time, we offered 3 day birdwatching tours led by Malick himself; he has taken groups (maximum of 10 people) to a variety of habitats, utilising all his local knowledge to help seek out the rarest and the most colourful species with very positive feedback. Following on from this success, we have arranged a series of new departures for Winter 2011/12.

Itinerary Information
In conjunction with Malick we have put together three very interesting tours - each concentrating on different areas and habitats within The Gambia. Whilst the three tours cover broadly the same areas, to ensure that there the tours run smoothly and there isn't any issues with multiple pick-up points, we have designated each tour to a particular hotel area (based on a Saturday start each time).
26th November 2011, 14th January 2012, 10th March 2012 for customers staying in hotels in the Kotu area
12th November 2011, 21st January 2012, 17th March 2012 for customers staying in hotels in the Kololi area
10th December 2011, 25th February 2012 for customers staying in hotels in the Cape Point/Bakau areas
Over the three days you will visit a variety of habitats. At Kotu stream and the surrounding area you can see a huge variety of waders, plus a number of different kingfishers, and maybe even an elusive bittern. At Brufut Woods, helped out by local community experts you can spot the stunning white-faced scops owl and a true 'lifer' in the long-tailed nightjar. At Tanji sure you'll see all four tern species plus a whole host of other shore species and sea birds. Whilst at the nature reserve at Abuko you can see bee-eaters, African darters and hammerkops and may spot a soaring lanner falcon, riding the rolling levels.
