Ecotourism flourishes in Gambia, a small jewel in west Africa
GAMBIA, 2013/10/09 “The African continent is known for its wildlife and flora. But in Gambia you have to look up to the sky. Watch the trees and you will see the country is one giant open-air aviary. Here there are additional than 500 species of birds, some of them very rare,” explained Francois who visited Tanji Bird Reserve in Gambia’s National Park. “Behind the reserve you have the Atlantic Ocean where birds come from different continents and breed in an island here. This is why this nature reserve is very significant for the Gambians and as well for tourists,” explained Solomon Jallow an ornithologist and professional guide. “Our birds are friendly, you can approach them, you can go very close to them. And we have very, very colourful birds and very significant birds in the bird watching inventory. At the same time as you come at a certain time you see most of the species that you must see in Africa you see them in the Gambia,” he continued.
