Dag 11: Tendaba Camp en Jamora Lodge

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds NL EN

A travel day, for now the rhythm is a new location every 3 days. We go to a place on the Gambia river, about 100 km inland. But first we drive, with stops at good birding spots. A pool where Jacanas live. A part where it is very dry now. Eventually we arrive at a hotel on the river. The tidal difference is quite large, there are large mudflats. There is no harbor or shipping, except for fishing boats, canoes mainly. Quite special that there is no hinterland, very few people live there.
