Mark Thompson of Hidden Gambia (www.hiddengambia.co.uk) not only runs the Bird Safari Camp, an excellent place to stay upriver, but can also arrange complete itineraries including accommodation, guides and transport for any Gambia holiday

Upriver trips in the Gambia

Modou Colley (www.gambianbirds.com) is one of the most experienced Gambian bird guides. He can arrange complete itineraries for visiting birdwatchers including transport, accommodation and guides

Birdwatching itineraries in the Gambia

On our visit to the Gambia we stayed at some fantastic lodges, all of which were set in the countryside with lots of birds in and around each lodge. We can therefore thoroughly recommend Footsteps Eco-lodge (www.footstepsinthegambia.com) Farakunku Lodges (www.farakunku-lodges.com), Sandele Eco retreat (www.sandele.com) and Jinack Lodge (www.jinacklodge.com) all of which are featured in our DVD. Why stay in the ghastly tourist-ridden coastal strip when you could stay in one of these fabulous places which in some cases are CHEAPER than the Senegambia Beach Hotel?

Note: the url for Footsteps is incorrectly given in the book and DVD as just www.footsteps.com when it should be www.footstepsinthegambia.com

Outstanding accommodation in the Gambia
