We did two tours with Black & White Safari (home cooking and four wheel drive) and they also helped us organize land transport between Dakar and the Gambia. We traveled with our three young children who really enjoyed the experience! We were grateful for all the support provided by Armstrong before and during our trip and are happy to recommend his company!

Fabulous experience from start to finish. My daughter and myself were met promptly at hotel reception by our friendly guide who, with his driver, took us to a Gambian home where we chose the meal we would like to cook.
Dressed in Gambian clothes, making the experience even more authentic, we were taken to the market to purchase the necessary ingredients. Didn’t realise that ingredients are purchased fresh every day as they don’t have facilities to keep them fresh!
Back at the family home we prepared the ingredients with guidance from our Gambian family. We helped with the whole process of preparing, cooking on the charcoal fires, cleaning the pots, serving the food and finally sharing the meal with the family.
Felt fully immersed in this Gambian experienced and quite humbled by the work needed to prepare the meal. Never will I complain about preparing Sunday dinner at home again!!
Brilliant experience and learning opportunity. Thank you Black and White Safari - a memorable day!
