Week Highlights:

Expected Species Count:

Experienced birders typically record 300–450 species across a 7-day tour. The Gambia's remarkable diversity is due to its position on a major migratory flyway and the variety of habitats across a very small geographic area, making it uniquely productive per square kilometre.
