After extensive research on the internet and reading all kinds of information, I finally opted for a photography/birdwatching trip with Fatou Colley from Birding Adventures Gambia. The communication beforehand was excellent: fast, clear and friendly. When I landed at Banjul airport, Fatou and the driver were already waiting for me. Very nice, especially after the flight. The trip itself? Amazing. Everything went smoothly, I saw and photographed a huge number of birds, and everything was organised down to the last detail. Fatou knows exactly where to go and has a real feel for nature. She is always enthusiastic, friendly, punctual and professional – what energy! You can tell she puts her heart and soul into it. My next trip with her is already planned. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to spot and photograph birds in The Gambia. Thank you Fatou, and kudos to the entire Birding Adventures Gambia team! Dirk D. Gent.
