We begin around 06:00hrs and drive by minibus to LAMIN LODGE where, after a wakening tea or coffee, we will embark onto the age old Gambian canoes into the creeks from which we will be given a totally different memory of the dawn and the accompanying Dawn Chorus. We will then take you back to the restaurant at Lamin for a cooked breakfast. After a digestion and relaxation period, during which time we are surrounded by the wonders of up to 200 different species of bird life, we take a 1.5km stroll along the edge of the rice fields towards Abuko to further sample the delights of The Gambia "Aviary" and general wildlife (monkeys).
