We at Bird Tours Gambia pride ourselves on our ability to provide a more friendly and personal service by keeping our Guided Bird Tour groups smaller than major tour companies in the Gambia, which enables us to be flexible in our approach to cost, duration for trips and venues.

Everything is included in our bird tours - experienced bird guide, transport, breakfast, lunch, cold drinks and even accommodation (where required).

The Gambia has plenty to offer the visitor - not just beautiful beaches and friendly people!
