Gambia River Cruise

Take a pirogue — traditional wooden flat-bottomed boat — or motorboat up the Gambia River. Upstream or downstream, doesn't much matter. The river is wide and slow here, lined with dense vegetation on both banks. Hippos in the wild water, crocodiles on the shore, and an endless sense of calm. One of West Africa's broadest rivers and barely discovered by tourists. Book through Tendaba Camp, they arrange a pirogue with skipper.
