Hello Adventurer, I invite you to come to Gambia in West Africa. At first I was only going to fly down for 4 weeks in November, but everything changed and I decided to stay here for a few months to help out with many projects on the ground. 😊 For you, that means I'll already be on site when you arrive and I'll come pick you up at the airport. It will be a vacation with real insiders 😅👍😎 To be exact, we are going to Buniado, a village, on the Northbank of The Gambia....Far from civilization. Buniado has a hospital that I helped to build and also clean drinking water! Locally we are in good hands as I know the village community, also the finance minister, police chief and likewise the cannabis farmers on Jinack Island. The Gambia is a safe country, and is called the smiling coast of West Africa because the people are so friendly. In Bunjado we move into the backpacker camp of Mr. B, a good friend of mine. Mr. B is also our tour guide. He has an old Landrover and Mr.B drives us wherever we want to go during our vacation. Also the transfer airport - Bunjado and back is settled :-) When we make which excursion, we can still plan together. 😊 Trip order attached, is just an example. Trips: - Fatala Safari National Park in Senegal -walking with lions, -the Stonehenge of Africa, -various local markets -the rebel canabis plantations -we will do bush walks -we will spend the night in the bush -we will travel in African wooden boats -laze on the Atlantic beach on the rebel island, it will be an adventure vacation in the local-way :-) (All excursions incl. entrance fees and transfers are included in the booking price, except Fatala Wildlife Reserve !!! This excursion costs about 90€ on site) Also included in the price: -transport from and to the airport - the listed excursions incl. entrance fee (except fathala) - Accommodation in the camp - bungalow (hotel) in Banjul, for 1st and last day - local guide - Landrover with driver Everything is taken care of. More excursion options at the end☆☆☆ By booking this trip you are directly supporting the local people on the ground! You can say it is fair vacation 😊 Likewise, it is also possible to visit the hospital and the school in Bunjado, there we are warmly welcomed! In general, the whole village is very friendly. We have unlimited opportunities on site to do something or help. This is not a 5 star resort trip, but pure adventure and freedom! 😎 Who got interested, just get in touch with me 😊 ☆☆☆ Other optional excursions: -Hippo Safari (see hippos). - Underground Skaven Lodgings -Kunta Kinthe Island -Boat tour into the mangroves or inland -Overnight on Paradise Island 🤩 -Fishing trips And and and... Who wants to hang 1 or 2 weeks and fly back later, just write and I put a revised trip here. And here is a YouTube video of Jinack Island - the Paradise Island https://youtu.be/rkKmQ1929SM

DON’T TRAVEL WITH CHRISTIAN HEINRICH! If you want to travel and explore Gambia, Mr. B is your guide! Google Mr. B Adventure camp (whatsapp +220 711 2240) – he is the one who helped me and saved my vacation! I was the only trip mate of the trip for 2 weeks in May 2022 to Gambia. After my arrival Christian talked to me once a day for the first 3 days and then left me on my own. Christian used the money I paid on “join my trip” for his personal expenses in Germany. HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY MONEY! He only organised my airport pick up and I found out later that he didn’t pay the local people for it. He always postpones the payment day by day using excuses. He also didn’t pay for any of my accommodation or trips as promised in the trip itinerary. He even doesn’t have money to pay his own accommodation! I ended up paying for my whole trip again! Furthermore he scams people and tells them the wrong costs e.g. for PCR test. The test is 50 EUR, but he tells travellers it’s 100 EUR. 50 EUR go to his own pockets. He is not trustworthy and tricks EVERYONE for his own benefit. AVOID THIS PERSON AT ANY COST!!!
