African Darter at Makastu
Text Box: Currently the Gambian bird list is in excess of 540 species of which well over half that number could be seen on a planned 14 day serious birding trip which takes in coastal & inland/upriver sites. Such a trip is likely to yield many spectacular and sought-after species whilst even a one week holiday with some casual birding around the hotel & a few select coastal sites can easily yield 160-180 species without the risk of upsetting non-birding partners/family! It is no accident that The Gambia is firmly on the itinerary of all the major Bird-tour operators, however the best way to see The Gambia and its birds is to arrange your own trip with a view to visiting areas and sites which hold birds of specific personal interest.
