Janjanbureh 2-day tour with overnight stay in a traditional camp

2 dage + 1 nat
3 måltider inkluderet
Let intensitet
Traditionel lejr (lodge ved floden)

Lad kysten ligge bag dig og oplev en helt anden side af Gambia på dette to-dages eventyr ind i landets landlige hjerte. På en rejse mere end 300 km ind i landet besøger du landets første fort mod slaveri, udforsker de UNESCO-fredede Wassu-stencirkler og Cruise langs Gambia-floden på jagt efter flodheste og krokodiller. Overnat i en lejr ved floden, der er inspireret af traditionel afrikansk hyttearkitektur, hvor fuglesang og den strømmende flod hurtigt erstatter kystens travlhed.

Din rute

Det der gør natten særlig

Jang Jang Burreh Camp ligger ved bredden af Gambia-floden og tilbyder indkvartering i hytter med eget badeværelse, bygget i traditionel afrikansk stil. Efter middagen opfører lokale landsbyboere folkemusik under stjernerne. Lejren ligger så afsides, at morgenen byder på fuglesang, dyreliv på vandet og stilheden i det indre Gambia, før nogen andre er vågnet.

En tidlig afgang fra dit hotel fører dig til Banjul, hvor du krydser Gambia-floden med færge til Barra på den nordlige bred. Første stop er Fort Bullen, landets første fort mod slaveri, hvor du får en guidet rundvisning i dets historie. Efter en kaffepause fortsætter turen til Farafenni-markedet, et travlt handelscentrum fyldt med lokale varer. Derfra kører vi til Wassu-stencirklerne, et UNESCO-anerkendt arkæologisk sted og verdens største koncentration af stencirkler. Om eftermiddagen går vi om bord på en båd i Kuntaur til en fire timers Cruise langs Gambia-floden. Frokosten serveres om bord, mens du sejler gennem vandveje omgivet af mangroveskove, hvor der er mulighed for at se flodheste, aber og krokodiller langs flodbredderne. Om aftenen ankommer du til Jang Jang Burreh Camp, en traditionel lodge ved floden med hytter med eget badeværelse. Dagen afsluttes med en folkemusikforestilling af lokale landsbyboere og middag.

Vågn op til lyden af Gambia-floden og start morgenen med en tur rundt i lejren, hvor du kan holde øje med det lokale fugleliv og dyreliv inden morgenmaden. Derefter tager du til Georgetown, også kendt som Jang Jang Burreh, et vigtigt administrativt centrum i Central River Division, hvor du får yderligere indsigt i hverdagslivet i regionen. Herfra begynder du hjemrejsen, der afslutter din to-dages udforskning af Gambias indre.

Wir waren grundsätzlich schon sehr zufrieden. Im Übernachtungscamp gab es am Morgen dann kein Wasser zum Duschen.

The guide was very knowledgeable on the history and culture of the region only down side was the amount of time travelling but we understand it was necessary

I thought our guide, Mo, was excellent. He knew everything about the area, without being boring. We saw a lot of wildlife.

River cruise very good, drive back on the 2nd day was long but necessary. The guide sharing his knowledge of Gambia helped to break up the journey.

Fantastic trip and highly recommend if want to see the real Gambia. Ferry trip, brief market stop, Wassu stones, river trip (was just sublime- okay old boat but my goodness the views and to relax was just bliss), camp with monkeys goats and dogs- the latter two well behaved! Then smaller boat trip to Macarthy Island, janjanbureh whislte stop tour, visit a family and home! Ibrihim is a truly good man and amazing guide. Bring water, torch, battery pack and open mindedness.

Loved every minute of this tour! We saw hippos and so much wildlife Our guide was knowledgable and fantastic, food was great, slept well basic but clean comfortable and safe, fab opportunity to see the real Gambia, loved meeting locals

Yes. This tour is led by a guide and follows established routes through The Gambia. The river cruise operates on a well-known stretch of the River Gambia, and the camp at Jang Jang Burreh is a recognised lodge with en-suite accommodation. Fort Bullen and Wassu Stone Circles are established visitor sites.

You'll be away from your hotel for one night (the night at Jang Jang Burreh Camp). Let your hotel reception know in advance. You do not need to cancel your booking. Simply inform them you'll be out for one night. Your room and belongings stay as normal.

The price includes: hotel pick-up, return ferry crossing at Barra, guided tour of Fort Bullen, visit to Wassu Stone Circles, four-hour River Gambia cruise with lunch on board, overnight stay at Jang Jang Burreh Camp (en-suite hut), dinner at camp with folkloric music performance, breakfast on Day 2, morning birdwatching walk, and visit to Georgetown.

The Gambia's dry season runs from November to May, with warm temperatures and little rain. This is the best period for river cruises and wildlife spotting. The rainy season (June to October) brings heavier downpours that may affect road conditions. Birdwatching is good year-round but migratory species are more common November to April.

No particular fitness level is required. The tour is mostly vehicle-based with a four-hour river cruise. Walking is limited to guided stops at historical sites, the camp grounds, and a gentle morning birdwatching walk. Suitable for most ages and fitness levels.
