Lamin Lodge, Gambia, Senegal
We took two of the trips- The four tours in one day + the Senegal trip, both of which were excellent.
We particularly enjoyed the 4 tours, Alex and Ali were excellent and we especially loved the pancake/doughnuts at Lamin lodge.
We would highly recommend any of the tours provided, the guides are really knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and you will definitely have a great day.

Holidays in Gambia
4 TOURS IN 1 DAY (8am – 6pm)
This tour entails four major tours that are offered by other tour companies separately. It is not physically demanding as one may think, so we decided to do them in one day to provide our customers real value for the money that they pay to us. It is not a constant drive the whole day; in every 30 – 45 minutes, we have a stop at a place of interest.
This tour starts with a visit to Serrekunda market. We go through the market showing you some of the local products sold in the market as well as their uses.
We then proceed to “Kachikally” crocodile pool. Come to learn the history of these crocs and also the story of fertility from the waters from the pond. Shake hand with “Charlie” the croc before we board our jeeps again to the “Abuko” cattle market.
This is time to learn all about cattle farming in the Gambia and how these cattle relate to the Gambia and Gambians being a predominantly Muslim country.
From here, we then drive to “Lamin Lodge” for a 30 minutes coffee or tea break. After the break, visit the main oyster collection point and learn about its use in the community. This time we are ready for the safari which takes us into nearly 20 small villages and hamlets in the west and south of the country. Our aim this time is to show you real Gambia and not tourist Gambia.
Stop in one of the villages along the way and see how the locals live as a social family.
On our way to Paradise beach, we will be telling you about the 3 types of education in the Gambia making stops at different points for a detailed illustration. We will also stop by a termite hill and tell you their importance to the community. We will spend between 2– 2:30 mins at “Paradise” beach for lunch. Here you can relax on free sun beds or go for a swim before getting ready for the 22 kilometers drive along the beach if the tide allow us. Otherwise we will drive upland and still miss nothing except having good time and fun.
Get to “Tanji” the biggest fishing village in the Gambia. See how fish is processed, preserved and also see the role that is played by Gambian women in this industry. From here we go to “King Kombo” a liquor distillery. This liquor is made from local products in the Gambia e.g. cashew, orange, grapes, banana etc. You can have free sample of all available types. No hard sales – only if you wish to bring along 1 or 2 bottles as a souvenir, its fine. Now its getting to 6pm and its about time we drive you back to your hotels.
