Your guide: Dallu

Why did I start this business? Well, let me tell you a story. When I was but a wee youngster, I used to spend my weekends helping my dear mum in the vegetable garden. Surrounded by nature and woodlands, all I could hear was the sweet melodies of the birds. It was then that my love for birds and wildlife was born. I devoured every book I could get my hands on and studied like a feathered fiend. And so, after school, I decided to pursue my passion and become a professional guide. Fast forward almost 16 years later, and I’m still chirping away as a seasoned pro. Join me on a journey of discovery and let’s wing it together!

We were not let down by this man, great guide and good company I have organised many trips to see birds in many countries but was advised to go through an official guide for the trip to Gambia. I found Dallu on line and was so glad we did. He provided everything and more when facing challenges from certain lodges we had booked. Constant communication. Very understanding when it came to the abilities of the group. Tailored the trip with some outstanding spots (Bird spots) for the opportunity to take some great pictures. Opportunity to go to some amazing places for over night stays He fixed everything when it was looking tits up, so we did not miss out Never forget the melon sessions and Fanta lunches, the great beer and water robbery and the shopping trips. Still cant quite eat melon yet or have another egg sandwich. But lets not forget the best driver in Gambia, Bully Bully No problem is a legend.

Birdwatching in Gambia At the end of October we've visited the Gambia with Dallu. What a pleasure with him and what a great birdwatcher! Without him we never would have seen all those beutiful birds. We went to many national parks, go by canoe and by boat. Dallu is very friendly and give you all the time you need. He also takes really good care to make sure you are okay! Top guide and birdwatcher!

Great birding with Dallu Dallu is an excellent birding guide. He showed us a great number of birds on foot and via canoe. His recommendations in planning the trip beforehand were spot on and he was super responsive. I couldn't recommend him more. He can be reached on gambiabirdguiding@gmail.com or easily via WhatsApp +220 221 9296, which is what I did. Thanks again for everything, Dallu. See you next time!

Amazing birding tour with Dallu Barry as professional bird watcher We have made a wonderful full-day-excursion to Farasuto Natural Forrest near Kuloro. With Dallu Barry as guiding bird watcher it was an amazing experience seeing and observing the diversity of Gambias birds and get to know a lot of background information about these beautiful creatures. Dallu Barry has a huge knowledge about the native bird life and the wildlife of Gambia in general - who is interested to get in touch with him, just call him on Whatsup: +220 221 9296.

15 days tour of Gambia My 84-year-old father, who comes from NL with me and Dallu as a guide, made a 15-day tour through the interior of the Gambia and visited various lodges. Our goal was to discover the birds in The Gambia and to be in nature. We have had a very professional guide with the guide Dallu on telephone number +220 221 9296 who knew a lot about all birds and showed us a lot of The Gambia. We advise him to take as a bird guide and can be contacted via wachapp or call via the telephone number.

Unforgettable expeditions With full responsibility I recommend a professional bird guide in The Gambia, Dallu Barry. This year I visited The Gambia for the third time, but only now I really got to know the beauty of nature, the richness of fauna and flora. From Dallu I had the opportunity to see many wonderful birds, the sight of which was delightful. He has great knowledge about them. I admired hippos, chimpanzees, the beauty of the forests and rivers of Gambia. Dallu is a true enthusiast who loves what he does. He has a lot of knowledge about birds. He is organized and punctual. He can always carefully plan each trip. Thank you Dall.

Great guide A very good guide. Importantly, punctuality in Africa is not clear. Helpful and kind, he helped us solve our desires. Thanks to him we saw many birds, hippos, chimpanzees and many other animals. Dall, thanks.

Amazing birding week We had a short 7 day trip to Gambia and a long wish-list of bird species! Dallu was a great guide and we managed to see almost 250 bird species in those 7 days. Next time we will definitely go back with Dallu!

A well-organised and successful trip with an excellent bird guide. We first met Dallu a few years ago, when he was training to become a bird guide. This year, we contacted him before our trip, so that he was able to collect us from the airport, take us for the short walk and sort out an itinerary for the week. This was our 10th visit to the Gambia, so we had ideas of what we wanted to do, but Dallu was able to advise us about the best places to visit. These included Marakissa, the Lamin rice fields & Abuko, Brufut forest reserve and a 2 night trip to Tendaba Camp.The highlight was probably the boat trip from Tendaba. In all we saw over 150 bird species (would have been more. but my eyes were playing up), as well as monkeys, baboons & other animals. Dallu was very professional and well-organises throughout, and also very patient. We paid him in advance for all the trips and no more was asked for. He knows the birds and were to find them and was always happy to discuss other aspects of life in The Gambia. We would certainly recommend him to anyone planning a birding holiday in the country, whatever their level of experience.
