of local hotels and resorts, coupled with a thorough understanding
of air, land or sea transportation arrangements and requirements.
We are fast becoming the ecotourism specialists in Gambia
and West Africa and this type of holiday has grown extremely
popular over recent years. Our reputation with visiting
eco-tour operators is unsurpassed and we have instigated
a programe of 'eco
tourist best practice' which is mirrored and respected
throughout the region.

- Environmental Education
In general, ecotourism is an insightful, mindful and participatory
travel experience to natural and cultural environments,
assisting the well-being of the local cultures and environments
for future generations. At the same time ecotourism produces
viable economic opportunities for the local areas.
Originally, ecotourism was defined as purely nature based,
forgetting the impact tourism had on the local villages
and culture. However, it quickly became apparent in the
Gambia that trying to create a new type of tourism, which
only focused on wildlife and the environment, while excluding
the local villages, simply did not work.
We involve the local communities in the ecotourism decision-making
process and has a high success rate in creating and sustaining
profitable ecotourism projects that benefit the tourist,
the local villages and the environment.
