Wether you choose for a short nature trip or for a complete week birdwatching, I am at your disposal !
Make sure you fully enjoy your holiday in Gambia. I propose birdwatching anywhere in my country and also in Senegal.

About me
I am an experienced ornithologist and a professional tourist guide for several years.
Here my official certificate issued by "Habitat Africa". I am member of "The Gambia Bird Guide Association" and also of "The West African Bird Study Association (Wabsa)". I work with tour operators but I also work as a freelance guide.
« I am Belgian and I had the opportunity of birding with Abdoulie several times. Abdoulie knows very well most of the species of birds. He is punctual, patient, helpful and he is a careful driver. If you need a trustworthy person in Gambia, I strongly recommend him ! »
