Gambia Customer Comments

Cosmos are proud to have been associated with The Gambia for the last 12 years and look forward to many more years of working in The Gambia. We thoroughly recommend the services of West African Tours.

Tom McCormick, Regional Contracts Manager, Monarch Holidays 


Following a recent trip to The Gambia with a group of Travel & Tourism students I feel duty bound to sing the praises of West African Tours to any would be travellers. What an organisation, approachable, helpful, patient, completely professional and offering excellent value for money with their excursion programme.

I would suggest to anyone putting together a substantial package of excursions, especially for groups, to contact West African Tours as I found them to be brilliant. We have a very busy schedule planned with something organised each day and each evening. West African Tours advised me as to the best trips to take the students on and the best order in which to do them. Each excursion was excellent value for money and the evening dinner excursions at a pre-arranged fee were wonderful value. (Now planning a third Trip).

West African Tours on a number of occasions for birdwatching trips in The Gambia. They have always given me exactly what I needed and their birding guides have an uncanny knack of knowing exactly where to look. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for serious birding.
Keith Betton, Head of Corporate Affairs, Association of British Travel Agents

Ever since The Gambia Experience started operating to The Gambia we have worked with West African Tours as our agent. They have provided airport and hotel transfers, and all of our excursion programme within The Gambia. As well as standard tasks, they have also organised ad hoc groups such as birdwatching and overland groups, and have greatly assisted with press and travel agent educational visits to The Gambia. In the 15 years we have grown into being the major tour operator to The Gambia, now carrying in excess of 20,000 people year round. This growth would not have been possible without the support of a professional ground operator. The Gambia Experience


I am writing to thank you for organising such a wonderful few days for us in The Gambia. The three days which we spent travelling inland to Janjangbureh with your company were the highlight of our holiday. We feel that we experienced something of the "real Gambia" by undertaking this trip as it enabled us to witness village life, access remoter regions, and to travel by river.

I would like to thank you for your willingness to organise a tour for just three people, and for even coming to visit us at our coastal hotel to discuss details with us and ensure that we had all our needs encompassed by the itinerary. The transport provided was excellent (with by far the safest driving we witnessed in The Gambia), and the guide provided was not only patient and friendly, but extremely knowledgeable about the bird life of the region which added greatly to the quality of the experience for us all. Many thanks to you all for providing us with such a quality service.

We have just returned from our third holiday in The Gambia, and have on each occasion taken various tours organised by your company. These have always run as smoothly as could be expected in the sometimes quite difficult circumstances. We were particularly impressed with the guide and driver on the 2 day excursion. They worked extremely well as a team and made every effort to make the trip a success. They were pleasant and helpful in every way, and we got a lot of interesting information that greatly increased our knowledge of the country and the way the people live, even though we have visited so often.

The success of Limosa's birdwatching and wildlife holidays to The Gambia could not have been achieved without the support of a reliable, efficient and understanding ground agent, willing and able to adapt and service the particular demands of our groups.

As a small specialist tour operator, we rely heavily on word-of-mouth recommendation, and the fact that our programme of birding tours is widely regarded as the best is due in no small measure to Patrick Sothern and his team at West African Tours in providing exactly the level of support we require.
Chris Kightley, Partner, Limosa Holidays
