 Georgetown is a two-day trip, which you
will remember forever. It gives you the opportunity to step away
from the comforts of your hotel and head into rural heartland to The
McCarthy Island Division area, approximately 175 miles up-river
where you will experience the "real country". You will travel both
by road and river to the old Capital to spend a night in a "bush"
hotel. You will also visit the mystical stone circles and glimpse
Gambia's wild life.
The
first day takes you straight to Georgetown. We depart from the
Hotel and drive on the South Bank to Georgetown. We will make
various stops on the way, which include Nature Study. We arrive at
Sankulay Kunda and join the ferry to Georgetown, where we make a
conducted tour in the bus to see the Colonial School, slave house,
and other tourist attractions.
Later, we join a pirogue (African wooden
boat) to the Camp. Upon arrival, we check-in and have lunch.
After relaxing for a while we journey to
Wassu to see the Stone Circles and we will visit the weekly "Lomo"
market, where you will be given a guided tour. On the way back, we
will stop to see a Nomadic family, and return to our camp for
dinner, with the dancers from Georgetown providing the
entertainment.
On the second day, an early bird
watching tour is organised from the camp before breakfast. After
breakfast, we join our boat at the camp for a 3 hour river cruise to
Sapu. Lunch will be served on board. Afterwards, we will join our
transport in Sapu, taking the South Bank back to your hotel, and
making various stops to ensure convenience breaks.
