You do not have to be a nature enthusiasm to appreciate the dawning chorus of the island while having your early coffee under the baobab tree, your veranda or in the garden. Staying at the resort accord you with an opportunity to explore about 60 to 70% of the country's hot spots for birding and nature tours sites and return for the evening.
Navigating the water ways of the River Gambia with the mangroves swamps is normally our main highlights most most of our guests, there is a greater chance of birds, crocodiles, monkey and if lucky mongoose in the evening.
