Gambia River at Wassadou

At Wassadou, take time to view the Gambia River and its riverbank vegetation from a permitted access point. Consider an outing on the water only with suitable local guidance and current river conditions; hippos and other wildlife are never guaranteed.

Things to see and do

  • Watch the riverbanks and birds without disturbing wildlife.
  • Ask locally which access points are permitted.
  • Discuss river conditions before any guided outing.

Good to know

Keep your distance from the water and wildlife; confirm safety and arrangements before any outing.
