Reisroute
De Boog 22 is een monument gelegen aan de snelweg Banjul-Serrekunda. Het monument werd gebouwd ter gelegenheid van de militaire staatsgreep in 1994, waardoor voormalig president Yahya Jammeh aan de macht kwam. De boog is 35 meter hoog en is ontworpen door een Senegalese architect genaamd Pierre Goudiaby Atepa. Goudiaby Atepa heeft veel interessante gebouwen ontworpen, zoals het hoofdkantoor van de BCEAO-bank in Dakar en het ECOWAS-gebouw in Lomé, Togo. Je vindt de Boog ook afgebeeld op de achterkant van de 100 dalasi. De lift naar de Boog werkt niet altijd, dus het kan zijn dat u een trap moet beklimmen.
Het nationale museum van Gambia presenteert historische en culturele artefacten uit de koloniale geschiedenis van Gambia. Het museum opende in 1985 en heeft een archeologisch gedeelte en ook een historisch gedeelte. De tentoonstellingen worden samengesteld door de heer Hassoum Ceesay, een bekende historicus. Als je geïnteresseerd bent om meer te weten te komen over de geschiedenis van Gambia, is dit de plek om naartoe te gaan!

Very good guidance by Amat during our Banjul city tour and the 6-1 safari. We were picked up at the hotel right on time. He tailors the time to his clients' wishes.
I had an excellent day tour of Banjul City and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The tour provided a great introduction to the history, culture, and daily life of The Gambia. Some of the highlights included visiting Arch 22, which offered impressive views of the city, exploring the Gambia National Museum and learning more about the country's rich heritage, and experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of the Royal Albert Market, where I had the opportunity to see local vendors and products. A special thank you to my tour guide, Omar, who was outstanding throughout the day. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing information about The Gambia. In addition to providing historical and cultural insights, he offered excellent recommendations for restaurants and other activities, which made my visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting The Gambia. It was informative, well-organized, and a wonderful way to experience Banjul. Thanks again to Omar for making it such a memorable day.
We had an interesting experience discovering Banjul with our driver, Amet. He was very friendly, guided us well, and made the tour enjoyable. At the beginning, we had some difficulty finding each other, but once we connected everything went smoothly. The car was clean and comfortable, and Amet even offered us additional ideas and places to discover. Overall, it was a very good and authentic way to experience Banjul, especially considering the local conditions and the warm effort put into the tour.
I hired this company somewhat last-minute due to a flight cancellation from Senegal. I had them pick me up from the airport and have me go on a half-day city tour of Banjul, which was super stress-free with phenomenal communication from the owner. The tour was fantastic! I visited all the sites that are worth seeing in the capital city and the highlight for me was definitely the vibrant market. The tour was a great value and I definitely recommend using this company if you visit Gambia.
Excellent tour. Not rushed. Picked up from hotel on time. Communication great. Visit to market and the arch and the museum great experience. Amat our tour guide was very knowledgeable and looked after us
This tour was so well done. Amadou was an incredible guide. He went above and beyond for everything. He knew every body! We were on time for each location and saw the sites at the best times of the day.

Organised excellently, very prompt and positive, the guide Jarry and drive Sanku are quite friendly and accommodative, Jarry in particular is knowledgeable and her inputs helped me to understand and appreciate the heritage, culture and traditions of the people of Gambia. She helped me to buy some souvenirs from the local market and also to present my book to Gambian National Library, this is a wonderful agency, traveller friendly and responsive. I will definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Banjul.
