Arrived and booked for the Lion walk after the safari in good time and the walk was arranged for 13.00. The safari it’s self was really quick and all the animals there were seen within the first 30 mins at the man made watering holes. The rest of the time was just riding about in the dust, A word of warning please make sure you have a scarf to cover your nose and mouth, We arrived back at reception to be told we would be called for the lion walk. No one came. Our guide went to see them and came back to us to inform us that it would not be taking place until 2.30pm or afterwards or not at all. Their reason was that a large coach load had taken our place. I was really upset as it was my birthday and the walk with the lions was a very special present. Due to my age and health status I know I shall never have a another opportunity to do it. Our guide even pleaded with the reception staff to just let me go to no avail. I was gutted and even back in the UK I am still.

Overall, I had an excellent experience with Jimmy. He picked me up from Banjul airport at 1am as planned and dropped me off at my hotel. In addition to the above, I was looking for a tour guide to show me around Banjul and Jimmy was excellent. He was able to plan the Banjul itinerary around my time/availability with enough flexibility. He picked me up from the hotel and dropped me off at the end of the tour. Jimmy is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this tour! 10/10.

I’ve used this company for many years and their standard of service is excellent. This year we were an adult family group of 8. We did the 4 x 4, Fathala including Lion walk and the Lazy Day cruise. All amazing and very enjoyable. It does not matter which hotel your staying in Lamin will send a car and take you to the office to book your trips and return you to your hotel. I always email him prior to arriving to arrange this. He will also email a price list to see what’s currently available and on what days. Descriptions of trips and itinerary can be found on their website. It’s very easy to see why they have the Trip advisor award of excellence.
