Get off the beaten path and experience a different side of The Gambia on this full-day adventure through local villages, countryside, and the coast, traveling aboard an open-air truck.
Depart the pier and travel through Serrekunda as you make your way toward the Tanji area. Along the journey, enjoy views of everyday life in The Gambia and keep watch for colorful birds, monkeys, and other wildlife that may be spotted along the way.
Visit the Tanji Village Museum, where you'll spend approximately 30 minutes learning about traditional Gambian culture and local ways of life.
Continue into the countryside for a visit with a local palm wine tapper, when available. Learn how palm wine is traditionally collected and discover more about this longstanding local practice.
Your cultural exploration continues with a visit to a local village school, when available, followed by a stop at a local family compound. These visits provide a glimpse into daily community life and an opportunity to learn more about local customs and traditions.
After exploring the villages, travel approximately 30 minutes to the coast for a well-earned barbecue lunch and beach break. Spend approximately 1B= hours at the beach, where you can relax, sunbathe, or take a refreshing swim.
Following your beach visit, board your open-air truck for the approximately 2-hour journey back to the pier, taking in more views of the Gambian countryside along the way.
