Bird Safari Camp - The Gambia
Dine in style

As with most up-river camps (and rural banks) in The Gambia, we are unable to accept credit cards at the moment. We can accept international currency and travellers cheques, though due to the poor banking facilities up-river, our rates of exchange at the camp are less competitive than at the coast.

Once in the country therefore, you'll be better off changing your money at the coast and paying us in Dalasi.

If you are concerned about keeping large amounts of money with you, you may prefer to make your payment into our UK bank account prior to departure. If you choose to pay in this way, we can offer a rate of £1 = D27. Please contact us for further details.
