The River Gambia threads the entire length of the country, its mangrove-lined banks and tributaries forming one of West Africa's finest birdwatching and boating regions. River trips from spots like Tendaba pass kingfishers, hippos, and the chance to reach the chimpanzee islands of River Gambia National Park upstream. The water is central to Gambian life, trade, and travel.
