There are many things to do and see in Sanyang and The Gambia. Braiding your hair, visiting a local market, taking drumming or dancing classes, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and visiting the craft market are just a few of them. Weekends are perfect for exploring the country. With our selection of responsible trips and tours, you will discover Gunjur and the southern Gambia, and if you wish, also northern or inner parts of The Gambia. All free-time activities are optional and can be customized by your preferences.
