One day we went to the river that seperates the Gambia from Senegal. Rough hewn 'dug-out' canoes crossed the river to and from the Gambia. Charming detail: the motorbike that was transported to the other side.
We cruised the river for almost an hour - mangrove bushes and pretty boring, just two green walls - and landed at the local border post. I love borders and this was a beauty. I am sure you will agree too when you see my photos.
We also saw an inordinate amount of vultures. They're everywhere. We have even seen them in the chic tourist resorts where they sat in the palm trees and walked on the lawns - you could walk right up to them.
It felt all very Wildlife.
Talking about wildlife: the Gambia is not the place to be for your Big Five. They've got crocodiles (holy), monkeys (endangered), hyenas (scary) and lots of birds (invisible).
Let's start with the river.
