Seasoned ornithologists and novices alike find our tours of The Gambia & Senegal to be extremely rewarding. Since 1985 British ornithologist Clive Barlow has lived in West Africa, studying and caring for the birdlife--thus, we conduct our tours using the best current scouting information and 20 years of West African birding experience.
We will seek the spectacular Crocodile Bird, forest skulkers, raptors, the monotypic Oriole Warbler, and many other specialties in one of Africa's most accessible birding hot-spots, The Gambia.
*** "DEPART ON REQUEST" BIRDING TOURS Trips can be arranged throughout the year for birding, photography, or research in The Gambia. To inquire, contact us at Firefinch@att.net or (908)377-2755
NORTHERN SENEGAL DESERT-EDGE EXTENSIONS (click for sample itineraries) This extension permits us to explore the dramatic variation in habitats from the verdant Gambia region to the brink of the Sahara Desert. Resident sahel species will play host to visiting palearctic migrants in the world's most important migrant survival wetland, Djoudj National Park. It's hot!
