Tour to see Chimpanzees and Hippos - I had a very enjoyable day travelling through the countryside to Kuntaur where I got on a motor boat and went on the River Gambia where a guide have a talk about the Chimpanzees and the rehabilitation centre. We saw 2 hippos and many different birds. It was a very relaxing peaceful trip. Very enjoyable experience

Good, but could be better. - The trip involves a lot of travel, which can be tiring but also allows a good look at the 'out of the tourist' areas of The Gambia. A huge surprise was the amount of plastic rubbish littering all areas that we passed through. Arriving at the accommodation during the evening was a disadvantage and the 'local dance' was a bit of a joke. I would recommend you take lamps / torches, plenty of water, toilet rolls and hand sanitizer (no electricity or water).
