GUIDES

 

We had booked in advance a guide from the WABSA list, his name was Karamba Touray. However, at the Atlantic Hotel was the president of WABSA, Lamin Jobarteh, who we linked with latter. Karamba had an excellent knowledge of the Gambian birds and locations. However his own transport became so unreliable that we had to abort trips with him. He charged £50-00 per day, not unreasonable, but with a vehicle breaking down regular, birding time became limited!

 

Lamin however used Tourist taxies, and  £20-00 per head for a morning or afternoon was very reasonable. Lamin new his birds and locations!,
