I have been using Lamin for 5 years now - for local trips and also to travel further afield such as the Tendaba 2 day tour. I like being able to plan the trips with him before I get to the Gambia so that we can make best use of the time available - our holiday is always too short! 

Lamin is one of the senior guides. With 15 years experience, he can identify by sound as well as sight - I always use him! 

We were delighted to have found Lamin; how he found some of those birds we will never know! He found us almost 200 species in 4 half days birding within 45 minutes of Kotu including a little bittern, yellow-fronted tinker bird, 4 owls (pearl spotted owlet,  African scops owl, African wood owl and Vereauxs eagle owl), long tailed nightjar,  hadaba ibis, blue cheeked, little, swallow-tailed & carmine bee eaters, violet & green turacos, rufous crowned, blue bellied, broad billed & Abyssinian rollers, malachite, giant, pied and striped kingfishers, black-headed plover and many raptors including lizard buzzard, red necked falcon, grey kestrel, African harrier hawk, Shikra, osprey, marsh harrier, lanner falcon & Wahlbergs eagle.

He was always punctual, extremely polite and has a decent 4x4 car (by no means universal among Gambian guides but VERY necessary! ) We would have no reservations in recommending him.
