At the mouth of the Gambia River, Banjul is an oft overlooked seaport hub of economic and cultural activity. Welcoming visitors into town is Arch 22, a historical monument that also houses a modest textile museum. The city itself is home also to the African Heritage Museum as well as numerous bustling markets. The surrounding area boasts sunny beach resorts as well as nature reserves and national parks where monkeys, birds, hippos and hyenas go about their daily routines in the wild.

This was the highlite of my trip. Staying in the tent & waking up early to watch the sunrise over the forest. Hearing and seeing all the birds and monkeys nearby waking up to the day was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Wood Hoopoe gathering in trees beneath were I sat - beautiful. .Trips along the river to see the chimps, hippos and birds was wonderful. The tents were comfortable & clean. Stella is an inspirational host, our guides friendly and knowledgeable. The project offers hope for any one interested in wildlife conservation. The steps are steep, especially if you forget your keys in the lodge and have to do the journey twice in a row :)

We are one of the longest operating pleasure boat companies on the creeks off the River Gambia and we invented the very popular 'Lazy Day' concept. We offer the highest standards of service, quality and safety and continue to receive high levels of approval from our direct customers and from our international and local tour operations partners. We strive to keep our service ahead of the competition following in our wake and are proud to introduce for the 2017-2018 season, one brand new purpose-built boat (and another one to come later that season). We believe our standards are second to none and our trips are the most professional and enjoyable you will find here at Denton Bridge.

What a wonderful experience feeding these small friendly monkeys, who take the peanuts directly from your hand. Make sure you take plenty with you and buy them (the ones still in their shells) before you arrive at the park, as this will be much cheaper.
