Arrival

Boat trip to Makasutu

Your journey starts in the morning with a drive from Senegambia to Kuloro. As you arrive at Kuloro, you'll embark on a short boat ride to Baobab Island, a place that is as unique as its name suggests. The island is home to a vast collection of baobab trees known for their distinctive appearance and medicinal properties. Here, you can take a break and enjoy snacks and coffee while admiring the island's beauty.

Afterwards, you'll continue your journey to Sita Joyeh, where you'll have the chance to take a boat trip to Makasutu. The journey takes you along the mangrove-lined river, showcasing the region's natural beauty and wildlife. Once you arrive at Makasutu, you can take a forest walk and experience the tranquillity of the forest, visit a fortune teller or a palm wine tapper, and have a unique and exciting experience. The fortune teller can give you insights into your future, while the palm wine tapper can give you a taste of the local beverage that has been enjoyed for centuries.

Lunch and Entertainment

After visiting Makasutu, we will take a boat trip back to Sita Joyeh. From there, we will head to Baobab Island Lodge for a delicious lunch and some time to explore the nearby nature.

No trip to The Gambia is complete without experiencing the country's vibrant cultural scene. That's why we can arrange for a djembe drumming group to perform for you on Baobab Island. This energetic performance will surely get your toes tapping and your heart racing.

Galloya Village
