Proper guides should all be able to show you official accreditation; if they can’t, find someone else. Andrew Eames, travel writer
The Gambia is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Don’t miss the feeding of the vultures around 11am at the Senegambia Hotel. Karen Hobbs, Travel Counsellor
Pack your binoculars. There is more birdlife per acre in The Gambia than in any other country and it is impossible not to be uplifted by their presence and their song while you’re here. Alison Rice, travel writer
I would strongly advise taking adequate funds in sterling traveller’s cheques. You can buy Gambian currency (the Dalasi) at the airport. Cash machines are often empty and you can take out a maximum of £40 each time. Machines often accept Visa but not MasterCard. Although some hotels and restaurants accept credit cards, it’s not wise to rely on either credit or debit cards. Janet Evans, Travel Counsellor
Visit the Makasutu Cultural Forest for daily tribal dancing and an African lunch (wonderful beef in peanut sauce) under the baleful stare of a troop of baboons. Andrew Eames, travel writer
