Birding for beginners
Want to see what all the fuss is about?
If you’re considering visiting The Gambia this year, you may already be an avid birder.
Gambia has over 570 species most of which are available year round so it’s no surprise that we get so many enthusiasts coming.
Birding is addictive
And when you see how much fun can be had with a pair of binos and a decent camera, it’s hard not to at least want to try it for yourself.
With this in mind, plus dozens of requests from non-birdwatching guests, we have created birding for beginners.
Designed for people who want to try it out
Want to test the water, but don’t want to spend a fortune in the process?
You will receive for the princely sum of £20, a pair of binoculars (not to keep I should say!) and up to four hours of birding with our very nice birding chap, Mohammed.
A guided walk through some prime bird spots close to Footsteps. And also spend about an hour in our purpose-built bird hide. Expect to see birds of prey such as the Shikra and Goshawk, and also some colourful less intimidating ones such as the Pygmy Kingfisher or Beautiful Sunbird.
You don’t need a Canon or Nikon
Or a 3-foot lens to get some great shots, we will get you close enough with just a step up from a point and shoot.
Just speak with Dodou
No advance booking required, (unless you want to, that is)
Happy birding!
