Today I start the tour through Gambia. Omar is my guide, driver and confidant. We go to 6 different lodges, to arrive at the Belgambia lodge 3 days before the return trip. The drive to the lodge is not very far, but there are many people and thresholds. The first day we go to the Farasuta Forest, where a local helper of Omar takes us to an owl and a nightjar. Beautiful species is what birdwatchers say. Then we go to the photo hide of Mr Bah. In contrast to the hide of Belgambia, the birds are only attracted by water. A lot of birds come to it! Omar also finds two types of turaco. A day with many hours of driving, but also a lot of birds.
