Catch your own dinner. Spend a day with the fishermen on the Atlantic Ocean and go fishing for saltwater fish. You can then eat your own fish freshly grilled.
River Gambia and Wassu Stone Circle
Only 2-3 hours by car from our lodge is the famous Stone Circle of Wassu. The old Jola cemetery and the small museum contain many details of the ancient tradition. Combine the trip with a boat trip on the River Gambia. Here you can not only experience a unique flora, but with a bit of luck also see wild chimpanzees and hippos.
