Description
Smiley offers really nice Boatstours on the Gambia river starting from the Kairoh Garden Guesthouse.
We decided to go on a tour with him to see the Chimpanzees on the Nature Reserve Island. We started at 8:30 am so the temperatures were still really okey, the chimpanzees are fed at ~4 pm so some people prefer to go on a tour in the afternoon.
Smiley is really friendly and his English also very good. He is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed hearing about all the animals. When entering the protected area a ranger joined us on the boat and also explained a little about the reserve. We saw many monkeys & birds, chimpanzees, a crocodile & hippos!
We could securely park our car at the Guesthouse and also started the tour from here. (13.6693460, -14.8911510)
Be sure to communicate the price accurately and check the exchange rate of the day. It’s possible to pay in Euro. At the end of the tour Smiley wanted to take us to a celebration in a village, we said yes, but explained that we didn’t take any extra money, than without explanation we didn’t go to the village…
Boat Tour Cost:
25 euros for 2 people + 5 euros per additional person (up to 8 people possible)
+ 500 Dalasi/pp (± 7 euros) Nationalpark fee

Latest Check-Ins
Amazing tour with Smiley !
I decided to book with him directly as to help his way into independence. He quoted me the price of 200€ for 2 nights with 3 tours accommodation drinks and Nationalpark entrance included. Smiley is super friendly and very knowledgeable of the local area. Unfortunately kairoh garden does not pay a fair wage so i recommend booking with him directly.
