Der Guide hat sehr viel über die Pflanzenwelt und wie sie als Medizin verwendet werden kann erzählt, was wirklich interessant war. Die Bootsfahrt war auch unglaublich schön und hätte für mein Empfinden noch länger dauern können

Interessante rondleiding. Enige minpunt was dat ze me probeerden 18 euro te laten betalen voor een blikje Fanta. Heeft me uiteindelijk toch nog 12 euro gekost.

Gids van gambia tours was heel matig. Niet goed te verstaan en vertelde heel weinig. De gids van makasuta forrest was wel goed. Na het bezoek aan makasutra ging de trip als een nachtkaars uit. Trip duurde niet langer dan 6,5 uur.

The guides were very knowledgable about Gambia, and the Forest itself. I loved the 30 min boat trip. The birds along the river were spectacular. The food was very nice too. I was disappointed not to see any baboons, although I know that’s nobody’s fault. I didn’t like the fact that our small group of 6 was taken to two craft markets throughout the day, making us feel pressured into buying things. One market would have been enough

jammer dat de dansgroep er niet was en dat er weinig aandacht werd gegeven aan de muziekgroep die er wel was. De begeleiding vertelde veel alleen zag je dat er veel achterstallig onderhoud was.

L’excursion était très intéressante , organisation impeccable Le guide au sein du domaine forestier était très compétent , riches explications et humour Journée à recommander Petit bémol l’attitude de l’accompagnateur (comportement peu ragoûtant ) il se cure le nef avec les tentures du bus et j’en passe : question hygiène douteuse

Many baboons at the forest causing mayhem and fun to watch. Walk through the bush with guide was very interesting. He talked a lot about the healing and medicinal benefits the Gambian people get from trees and plants. Relaxing paddle through the mangrove swamps. Unfortunately the pool and viewing tower were closed and in need of repair. Once renovations have been completed both will be an added bonus to this trip.

Enjoy the beauty of the natural environment, walking surrounded by ?? monkeys, being in close proximity to the monkeys was incredible. Very informative trip, enjoy the walk in the forest and boat tip in the swamp. The pine wine is beautiful do not drink but I will have palm wine before it is fermented anyday, went back for more. Everyone in the group did not like not having life jackets for the boat trip. Concern was raised by members of the group around safety. A very good trip. Highly recommen

Knowledgeable guides, passionate about their country and culture, shared with us never to be forgotten experiences: music, food, nature, and how the forest sustains and supports human life. Remember to take plenty of water with you- there is only one chance to buy water on site, and you’ll be out and on the go for a long time. Strong walking shoes are a must in the forest.
