Janjangbureh

Janjangbureh, formerly known as Georgetown, is a former colonial administrative center on MacCarthy Island in the Gambia River. The historic Commissioner's Quarter may be found on a walk around town. Freed slaves used to live in this 200-year-old home.

The town has little tourist infrastructure, which makes it more or less appealing depending on the sort of vacation you're planning, but the majority of visitors come to Janjangbureh for the bird viewing. Spend a few days with the unusual birds of the area in a lodge or resort outside of the city center.

Bird species are abundant in Janjanbureh's forest, riverine, scrub savanna, and rice fields environments. You could see Abyssinian Rollers, African Crakes, and African Finfoots when bird watching. Anglers can find a variety of fish species in the tidal waters of the River Gambia thus far upstream. You might catch game species like West African Tigerfish, Threadfin Salmon, Tilapia, Freshwater Sole, and Elephant Fish if you bring the correct rod and equipment.
