We'll start the trip looking for the Green Vervet monkeys around Lamin Koto riverside, and then head East through the bush to Koli Bolong 'Mountain'. After enjoying a late breakfast with great views over the river you'll have the chance to cool down with a swim if you wish. From there, we'll hike through the traditional settlements of Kujew, Yonna, Kunting and Jarra Ji. Along the way, we'll meet with various members of the community to learn more about local life and visit a women's community garden. From there, we'll continue South East to Tankong Kunda, where we will take lunch in a local compound. After lunch we'll greet the village chief and head down to the riverside. We'll set up our tents at a small fisherman camp and head out for an evening walk in the forest. Your evening meal will be cooked on a fire at the riverside.

After breakfast, leave Tankong Kunda and head South West to the village of Dobo. Depart Dobo and head South East to the river. From there, the going is a little tougher as we leave the tracks behind and weave our way through the trees as close to the river as possible, using a cutlass to cut a path at some points. There are no permanent settlements in this area, so the wildlife is as plentiful as anywhere in Gambia. We expect to see more than one large troop of baboons, red colobus monkeys, green vervet monkeys, mongoose and possibly even bush pig. This area also home to a great range of bird-life including various species of kingfishers, bee-eaters and ibis. Arrive to Bushtown and cross the river in a small hand-paddled boat to the dusty town of Bansang where you will spend the night in a local riverside lodge.

After breakfast, you will have the chance to explore the colourful Bansang market before departing to your onward destination.
