A Day Trip to Makasutu Cultural Forest with Clients from France

Makasutu is a private ecotourism forest located in Kembujeh, Brikama, in the West Coast Region of The Gambia. It's an ideal destination for nature lovers and anyone curious about the rich flora and fauna of The Gambia.

We picked up our client from Forest View Apartments in Kololi and drove her to the beautiful Makasutu Cultural Eco-Forest. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a resident guide who gave us a warm orientation and overview of the day’s itinerary.

Our adventure began with a peaceful canoe ride through the mangrove forest, where we were lucky to spot a variety of exotic forest birds, crocodiles, and other unique wildlife inhabiting the serene mangrove swamps.

After disembarking, we visited the base camp, home to a striking observation tower nestled in the forest. From the top, we enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape—an unforgettable sight.

Next, we ventured on a guided forest walk to explore some of the medicinal plants and herbs traditionally used to treat ailments before the arrival of modern medicine. Along the way, we encountered resident baboon troops, a real delight for wildlife enthusiasts!

One of the highlights of the day was meeting a local palm wine tapper. He demonstrated how he extracts palm wine from the trees and explained the fermentation process. Our client even got the chance to climb the tree and sample the freshly tapped wine—an authentic and memorable cultural experience!

If you'd love to explore Makasutu or join us on any of our many tours, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Genuine South Gambia Trip – A True Adventure

Tanji Fishing Village

One of the most memorable highlights of our Southern Gambia trip was a visit to Tanji Fishing Village—the largest and most vibrant fishing village in The Gambia.

Upon arrival, you're welcomed by a breathtaking display of colorful wooden boats, each proudly owned by local families and fishermen.

It's a fascinating sight to watch the day's fresh catch being brought ashore. From there, the journey continues into the traditional smokehouses, where you can witness the full fish preservation process: salting, drying, and smoking—a practice passed down through generations.

We then strolled down to the lively shoreline, observing the flurry of activities taking place. Our guided tour provides insight into the vibrant routines of the fishermen and traders, and you’ll get to learn the meaning and purpose behind every step of the work on the beach.

The Tanji Fishing Market is the beating heart of the community—a hive of activity that plays a crucial role in Gambian daily life.We would explore every element of the fishing industry, from porters and fish vendors to ice production, boat building, smoking sheds, and net repairs. It’s an unforgettable and authentic look into the cultural and economic soul of coastal Gambia.
