River Gambia Experience – Hippos, Chimps & Kunta Kinte Island Tour | SenGambia Experience Tours
Cruise the River Gambia to spot hippos and chimpanzees, and visit the historic Kunta Kinte Island. An unforgettable full-day river adventure in the heart of West Africa.
Hippos surfacing at the bow of your boat. Chimpanzees calling from the riverbank. Ancient stone circles rising from the earth.
This is one of the most extraordinary days you can spend in The Gambia. Travel deep into the heart of the country along the River Gambia to the River Gambia National Park, a UNESCO-listed wilderness sanctuary. Here you will glide past pods of hippos basking in the shallows, watch chimpanzees on the forested islands of Baboon Island, and later visit the mysterious Wassu Stone Circles, one of West Africa's most significant ancient monuments. This full-day experience combines the best of Gambian wildlife, river culture, and prehistoric heritage in one remarkable journey.
