After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 AM and head to the capital, Banjul. From there, a 25-minute ferry ride takes us across to the North Bank, where a pickup truck will be waiting. A scenic 45-minute drive brings us to the Roots Museum. Here, we will deeply explore the history of West Africa, understanding exactly what happened during the peak of the transatlantic slave trade from the 15th to the 19th centuries.
Following the tour, we will enjoy lunch at a village restaurant before boarding a local boat to Kunta Kinteh Island. We will spend an hour exploring the haunting ruins where this tragic history unfolded. Afterward, we begin our journey back with a private, three-hour boat ride navigating the majestic Gambia River. We will cruise into a peaceful tributary to watch the sunset, eventually arriving at Lamin Lodge in the south. Finally, we will drop you off at your hotel just in time for dinner
