Arch Tours - Tour Operators in The Gambia, West Africa
Arch Tours' continued success in the West African region
is built on our close relationships with the owners or operators
of local tourist attractions, hotels and resorts in the Gambia, coupled with a thorough understanding
of modern air, land or sea transportation arrangements and requirements.
My name is Abdul Ramon Conteh. I am a 44 years Gambian National and the owner of Arch Tours.
Since I graduated from school, I have worked in the following departments:
A) History and Englisch language teacher in a secondary school.
B) Worked as a field worker for the medical research council collecting dataa and information on malaria study.
C) Served the Gambia National Army for six years as a drill and weapon instructor. Trained by the Britisch Army.
In 1992 I started working as a Private Tourist Guide around the Senegambia Hotel area under the umbrella of Crocodile Safaris.
In 1994 I established the Gambia Adventure Safari which was popularly known as Abdul's Safari or The Boys in red. This Abdul Safari was situated next to the Saint Mary's food & wine Supermarket and opposite the Ali Baba Restaurant.
In October 2002 I began working as the operations supervisor for the African Adventure Tours which is the agent for Olympia International in the Gambia . I stopped working for the African Adventure Tours in February 2004 and since then I have been working as a private and legal tourist guide.
Since 2004 I have my own ground operator license again by starting a cooperation with Ghazala Travel, touroperator in Holland. Arch-tours is the name of our agency in the Gambia. Please check the new website of Arch-tours to find out more! The English version is under construction but you can get a good overall impression.
I belong to the Mandinka tribe but can speak English and 3 major local Gambia languages. I have travelled all over the Gambia and Sengal and know my way around regardless of any other languages spoken by the people in the community and because of my background I consider myself an experienced Toursit Guide.
