Tanji River Bird Reserve

The Gambia


The Tanji River Bird Reserve is an area of dunes, lagoons and woodland, and contains Bijol Island, a protected breeding ground for Caspian terns. True to name, the reserve is home to many bird species – over 300 at last count.

Guides are pricey, but recommended for helping you locate the many species here. You can also arrange boat trips out to the Bijol Islands (D750 per person).
