Private Gunjur Birdwatching Day with Footsteps Eco-Lodge
Spend four to eight hours birding around Footsteps Eco-Lodge and nearby Gunjur habitats with a local guide, private transport and lunch.
About this tour
Footsteps Eco-Lodge is a birding base near Gunjur, with a garden, a bird hide facing a water feature and several coastal habitats within reach. This guided day can be shaped for a first introduction to Gambian birds or a more focused outing for an experienced birder or photographer. The operator describes daily excursions lasting four to eight hours rather than a fixed sequence of stops.
The lodge grounds and nearby Gunjur area offer chances to watch sunbirds, weavers, kingfishers, bee-eaters and other local species. Wetland, forest-edge and coastal birding can be discussed when arranging the route; the exact sites depend on conditions and interests. The bird photographs shown here illustrate species in the operator’s Gambia gallery, not guaranteed sightings on a particular day.
The published daily arrangement includes a local bird guide, private transport and a prepared lunch. Footsteps lists per-person rates that vary by group size, from a solo outing to a group of four or more. Ask through BirdWatch to confirm the preferred date, route, pickup and current quotation. Accommodation is a separate choice and is not assumed to be included in the daily rate.
