Gallivanting in Gambia

Gallivant in Gambia by driving through busy Serrekunda, the most densely inhabited town in the country, then to the rural areas, and a visit to a traditional family complex. Explore the 500-year-old historical roots of Kunta Kinteh, a well-known Gambian who was enslaved in the mid-seventeenth century and brought to the Americas from his hometown – Juffureh. Alex Haley’s best-selling book Roots, which retraces the events of the transatlantic slave trade, was based on the history of Kunta Kinteh. Walk the same streets, touch the same stones, and hear the same stories that the forefathers did, while you explore towns, villages, and the Makassutu Eco-cultural park on this trip. You will be introduced to the rich culture and history of the Gambia throughout this journey.
