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

2 dager + 1 natt
3 måltider inkludert
Lav intensitet
Tradisjonell leir (hytte ved elvebredden)

Legg kysten bak deg og opplev en helt annen side av Gambia på dette to-dagers eventyret inn i landets landlige hjerte. På en reise mer enn 300 km innover i landet besøker du landets første fort mot slaveri, utforsker de UNESCO-listede Wassu-steinsirklene og cruiser langs Gambia-elven på jakt etter flodhester og krokodiller. Tilbring natten i en leir ved elvebredden inspirert av tradisjonell afrikansk hyttearkitektur, der fuglesang og elvens rislende vann raskt erstatter kystens travle liv.

Din rute

Det som gjør natten spesiell

Jang Jang Burreh Camp ligger ved bredden av Gambia-elven, med overnatting i hytter med eget bad bygget i tradisjonell afrikansk stil. Etter middagen fremfører lokale landsbyboere folkemusikk under stjernene. Leiren ligger så avsides at morgenen byr på fuglesang, dyreliv på vannet og stillheten i det indre av Gambia før noen andre er våkne.

Et tidlig avreise fra hotellet tar deg til Banjul, hvor du krysser Gambia-elven med ferge til Barra på nordsiden. Første stopp er Fort Bullen, landets første fort mot slaveri, med en guidet omvisning i fortets historie. Etter en kaffepause fortsetter turen til Farafenni-markedet, et livlig handelssenter fylt med lokale råvarer. Derfra kjører vi til Wassu-steinsirklene, et arkeologisk stedet anerkjent av UNESCO og verdens største konsentrasjon av steinsirkler. Om ettermiddagen går vi om bord i en båt i Kuntaur for en firetimers cruise langs Gambia-elven. Lunsj serveres om bord mens du seiler gjennom vannveier omgitt av mangroveskog, med mulighet til å se flodhester, aper og krokodiller langs elvebredden. Om kvelden ankommer du Jang Jang Burreh Camp, en tradisjonell hytte ved elvebredden med hytter med eget bad. Dagen avsluttes med en folkemusikkforestilling av lokale landsbyboere og middag.

Våkn opp til lyden av Gambia-elven og start morgenen med en spasertur rundt leiren, mens du holder utkikk etter lokale fugler og dyreliv før frokost. Deretter drar du til Georgetown, også kjent som Jang Jang Burreh, et viktig administrasjonssenter i Central River Division, hvor du får ytterligere innblikk i hverdagslivet i regionen. Herfra begynner du hjemreisen, og avslutter dermed din to-dagers utforskning av Gambias innland.

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.
