River Memories

Around 11 in the morning you depart from our pier at Denton Bridge. This bridge is the connecting point between Serrekunda and the capital Banjul. Our friendly staff will welcome you with a drink and whilst you make yourself ready the boat will depart on its trip on the majestic mouth of the river Gambia. You will first cruise through the mangroves, home to many birds and to oysters who grow on the roots of these mangrove bushes. With a bit of luck you will see local women collect the oysters from the branches in their small dug out canoes. The chef will prepare several smaller dishes for you to enjoy during the morning. In the afternoon he will prepare some main courses for you, followed by dessert, coffee and tea and biscuits. During the day several stops are made for swimming and fishing. Courtesy rods are provided including bait.

You will sail past Banjul and see the activity in the harbour before you continue to Lamin Lodge for a sail past. In the late afternoon you will return towards Denton Bridge where you will reach around 6 pm.
