About me
Tendaba Camp is located on the river-side in the Kiang Central district about 100 km upriver from the capital of Banjul. It can be reached by an arranged boat tour sailing up the River Gambia from Lamin or via the road on the south bank and is approximately 145 km from Serrekunda and the Kombos.
The area is characterised by a broad tidal river bed, savannah swamp and mangroves. It is a well established tourist destination for short excursions away from the Atlantic resorts of Kololi and is ideal for eco-tourists interested in both wildlife and birds as it is right on the riverside and is very close to Kiang West National Park. Bird species include the sacred ibis, marabou storks, blue-breasted kingfisher and herons.
It’s a great place to get off and enjoy the river
