Janjanbureh 2-day tour



This excursion will take you over 300 km into The Gambia and gives you a chance to see most parts of the country and old monuments, such as the famous Stone Circles.

ITINERARY

Day 1: After an early departure from your hotel, you will head straight for the ferry terminal in Banjul to cross Barra located on the North bank of The Gambia. Your first stop will be Fort Bullen which is the first antislavery fort built in the region. Here you will take a guided tour that will introduce you to the history of the place.

After a short coffee break, continue to Farafenni market, Lumo, which is a relatively busy market. You will then stop at the Wassu Stone circles, the largest concentration of stone circles seen anywhere in the world, built between the third century B.C. and the sixteenth century AD.

From here you will head to Kuntaur for a 4 hours boat trip along the River Gambia. Have lunch while sailing along the mangrove swamps and be lucky enough to spot hippos, monkeys and crocodiles. The first day of your trip ends at the Jang Jang Burreh Camp. This is a traditional camp, built in African huts style. All accommodations are en-suite. Enjoy a folkloric music performance by the villagers during dinner.

Day 2: The next day, wake up and walk around the camp for bird watching and some wildlife spotting. After breakfast, leave the camp for a stop at the village of Georgetown, locally called Jang Jang Burreh. This village is also the administrative centre for the central river division.
