1. Musa Manneh Bird Watching Tours
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 44 reviews
I’m Musa , a well-known Gambian birdwatcher and freelance guide. I studied bird watching with the Department of Parks and Wildlife Management and have many years of experience as a bird guide, and arrange tours to different parts of this country and also to Senegal. I’ve loved birds since very early age. I was born and brought up in a village where the vegetation is ever-green around farmlands and the river and full of wildlife. Birds are my speciality but I have a love of nature at large, so I also know a lot about plants, reptiles, and mammals. And about Gambia and our culture.

This is well written and well photoed and well described. We were actually there to buy some fish, so someone with me to know what to look for and haggle a price. Reasonable at the best of times by Europe fish market prices. Boats, highly decorated go out about 9.00 so be a bit early to see them being prepared, you can wander about anytime, always a hive of activity and all very colourful. Boats back about 4-5pm and catches hauled in. Then the real action starts, ladies everywhere with big gutting knives, all gets a bit messy and smelly, lot of negotiation going on. Some fresh taken away immediately, some for the smoke house. Make a donation when you sign the book, otherwise as you find life in Real Gambia.
