Welcome to our site

Bird Tours of The Gambia can arrange your ultimate bird watching experience to The Gambia and Senegal tailored specifically to your requirements.

We have one of the best, and one of the most regarded and experienced, bird guides in The Gambia - Junkung Jadama (JJ). JJ is licenced by The Gambian Tourist Authority. Our comprehensive bird tours start from around £550 per person for an 8 day tour. Our prices include accomodation, food and transport, the services of JJ and local airport transfers. 

Clients do not pay the balance of their trip until they meet JJ on their first day of the trip in The Gambia. When you book your flights with Thomas Cook Airlines your flights are ATOL protected.

Browse the site for more details on possibly the best deals around for bird watching in The Gambia and Senegal available in the UK today.

All the photographs on this site were taken whilst on a tour with JJ (except the one of JJ himself).

Flights and Travel Insurance

Our tour prices do not include flights or travel insurance. We recommend using Thomas Cook Airline flights from Birmingham, Gatwick or Manchester (Oct - April). These flights are the best value from UK to Banjul in The Gambia at present. Flights leave and return Birmingham on a Tuesday, from Gatwick on a Monday, Thursday and Friday and from Manchester on  Wednesday and Saturday. Booking your flights with Thomas Cook Airlines means your flights are ATOL protected.

We recommend clients check around for the best deals for travel insurance but we have found Insure & Go offer competitive prices with the required cover. Please note that it is a condition of joining one of our tours that the client has adequate travel insurance cover.

We are putting together a special Nature/Birding/Beach tour to coincide with this flight, with an expected cost of £550 per person (reduction for children/families) and will include local airport transfers, accomodation, transport, all meals and a Gambian Tourist Authority licenced nature guide throughout your stay.
