Experience the Real Gambia with Sulay A Personal Authentic and Insightful Day Tour Beyond Typical Tours

Reviewed June 4, 2025

From the moment I met Sulay at the port in Banjul, I knew I was in good hands. While most tourists were packed into buses, Sulay offered a completely personal and authentic experience of The Gambia. We explored vibrant local markets preparing for Tabaski, full of life, color, and incredible smells. Sulay’s deep knowledge and warm personality made every stop fascinating — from the oyster shell-covered Lamin Lodge and peaceful mangrove boat ride to ancient Baobab trees and the bustling market in Serra Konde. He shared amazing insights — like how oyster shells are turned into cement for the Trans-Gambia Highway — and made sure I met friendly locals, tasted delicious chicken stew at a roadside eatery, and even found unique souvenirs with his help. Sulay isn’t just a guide — he’s a storyteller, a connector, and someone who truly loves sharing his country. If you want to experience the real Gambia, book a day with Sulay. You won’t regret it. Thanks for everything Sulay!

I have known Solomon for some years and over several visits.

Always polite, very courteous and helpful.

I would honestly recommend him to anyone visiting his area of The Gambia.

We still keep in touch and he deserves every success in his business.

During my stay in Gambia in 2023 I went on several tours with Solomon. He takes you to the best places te see where you will support the local people. I always felt very comfortable, it was relaxing and respectful. And we were having fun. Everywhere we came it was clear that Solomon is well known and respected by the local people. Thus, if you are looking for a trip, go with Solomon. Thus, you will also help the local people in stead of the big touri companies. It was great in this beautiful country, Thank you Solomon.

Solomon was my driver during my one month stay in The Gambia. While I didn't go on any tours, he was always on time, dilligent, and friendly. We organised pick ups via WhatsApp and he was always on time.

I highly recommend him for any trips!

Brilliant, knowledgeable, experienced guide

Reviewed April 6, 2023

I have twice visited Gambia and on both occassions Sol was my guide.  He was extremely well organised, knowledgeable and the trips he organised were truly fantastic.  There were many highlights including the visit to Soma, a tour of historic Georgetown and the amazing boat trip that included sitings of wild hippos and chimpanzees.  The people of Gambia are so very warm and welcoming.  I would thoroughly recommend a visit Gambia and there is no better way than having a fantastic guide such as Solomon.
