Why Visit The Gambia

Lazy Day Cruise

This is a relaxing and lazy day spent on a 60ft modern Gambian style river pirogue. The boat departs from Denton Bridge, cruising along the oyster creeks and meandering through the tributaries of the River Gambia whilst morning coffee is served – brandy is optional.

You may see local fishermen casting their 'jallo' (huge circular nets) or the ladies in their dug out canoes collecting oysters from the mangroves. But for most people, the real pleasure will be the chance to get a close up view of the aquatic bird life, from Osprey to Pelican.

The boat is anchored in a secluded spot for the chance to have a dip and cool off before a buffet lunch is served. In the afternoon there is a chance to fish and relax before tea and biscuits is served whilst cruising back to Denton Bridge. There is a reasonably priced fully stocked bar on board.
