Off the beaten track
Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, bird-watching, wildlife tours, workshops in traditional skills, cultural experiences or just relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere, FairPlay can introduce you to the best of rural Gambia.
Birding
Bird-watching in The Gambia is an unforgettable experience, with a huge variety of habitats and species crammed into a small area. Birding on the River Gambia with FairPlay offers a unique chance to experience the full range of what can be found in the inland areas, both on and off the River.
