We will be lodging in the southwest area of this region in the Gambia in ecolodges very close to the Atlantic Ocean by the west and on the south very close to the frontier, that separates the two countries, Gambia and Senegal. Our lodges are located very close to the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean on the west and also close to the southern border of Senegal where u have the Cassamance river flowing along the strips of the Frontier. This Will be our base for the first 3 days of the trip, after which we will cross the border to get into the southern province of Senegal, Cassamance for another 2 days. For 4 to 5 days, we will have the opportunity to explore the real eco sociocultural lifestyle that is totally different and fascinating. This part of It is known for all It has to offer in rich and untouched natural and wildlife beauty.
I am a Gambian, who has worked in the Gambia as a tour guide for 7 years, criss-crossing tourist around the Senegal region. I later travelled to Europe and stayed for several years in Spain. There I embarked on various courses relating to tourism such as hotel receptionist, tourism marketing and event creation. Now am back home in the Gambia with this tour and want to show you the Senegambia region!
Our accommodation: We will be staying in eco-lodges built right in the middle of eco-friendly and nature fascinating environments of the south-west Gambia and Senegal. The accommodations are round huts with grass top roofing. They are equipped with modern toilet facilities and open areas with trees and plants around each room. You will have the chance to relax on your chairs by your veranda and enjoy the natural relaxation the cool environments around the eco lodges have to offer.
