The Gambia The Gambia River Swamps

The Gambia River swamps are a natural treasure, home to vibrant mangroves, diverse wildlife, and rich floodplains. They support local communities with fishing, rice farming, and more, while providing critical habitats for birds and marine life. :bird::fish: However, challenges like deforestation and salinization threaten this delicate ecosystem

Bring any kind of lens, as you might wanna take different shots here. A drone and a tele is highly recommended, also because of upcoming wildlife, like hippos etc.

It's a bit tricky to get there, as you might not find the right track, when following google maps for instance.
A 4x4 is not really necessary, but a bigger ground clearance will help.
The 9km long track is extremely narrow sometimes, so be careful with your car.
Here's is the recorded track, which can be downloaded and easily be followed:
