More birdwatching tours

In addition to our own birdwatching tours, we have also worked closely for many years with specialists in The Gambia offering fully escorted birdwatching holidays. All new dates for late 2010 and 2011 are now available.

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!

This year, for the first time, we are offering 3 day birdwatching tours led by Malick himself; he will take 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.

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.

20th-22nd November for customers staying in hotels in the Kotu area

11th-13th December for customers staying in hotels in the Kololi area

22nd-24th January for customers staying in hotels in the Cape Point area

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.
