Photography Tours in The Gambia & Senegal

Discover the colourful birds and varied wildlife of The Gambia and Senegal on a private photography tour with expert local guide Lamin Jobaate.

Each tour is planned around your photographic interests, experience and equipment. Whether you want to photograph kingfishers beside quiet creeks, bee-eaters in open woodland or waterbirds across coastal wetlands, Lamin will help you visit productive locations at suitable times of day.

Tours move at a patient pace, providing time to observe natural behaviour, consider light and backgrounds, and wait for rewarding photographic opportunities without disturbing the birds.
