Last Saturday, I visited the Baobab Cultural Center in Kembujeh as a guest of the Gambia Tourism Board and SN Brussels Airlines. On the craft market, local people showcased their skills and sold their art. Most of all, though, the tourists come to Kembujeh to start their trip to Makasutu Cultural Forest with a drink, which was exactly what I did too. But not before photographing the local cats. Then, a dugout canoe rowed me along the river Mandina Bolong which is surrounded by mangroves, an absolutely stunning part of The Gambia. Back ashore, it’s time for a guided walk through the Makasutu Cultural Forest or a swim in the elephant-shaped swimming pool of Base Camp.
For a complete report of my trip to the Makasutu Cultural Forest, go to Gambia day 1: boat trips, forest walks, and eco-lodges.
How exciting and look forward to more. Have a super Saturday.

They must feel safe, they all look so relaxed. I'm going to go read about your trip.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, sweet kitty!
ReplyDeleteUn beau cadre de vie pour ces chats. J'espère qu'ils sont protégés !

Un grand nombre de chats en Gambie est pauvre, mais la personne en charge du Baobab Cultural Center m'a assuré que les chats sont bien soignés au sein du domaine.
DeleteLovely cats <3

Wow! What an amazing trip! I had to catch up with your posts from the last few days. All of the photos are gorgeous and the cats are so perfect. ♥
ReplyDeleteIls m'ont l'air heureux et sereins ces chats.
ReplyDeletePour moi c'est presque étonnant. J'ai souvent l'impression que la vie ne doit pas toujours être facile pour les chats africains.
Ceux là montrent que j'ai tors....
Un joli voyage.
Bonne soirée

Tu as raison. La vie n'est pas facile pour les chats africains. Les chats dans le Baobab Cultural Center sont une exception à la règle.
DeleteSweet cats. They look happy:)

It just goes to show you that no matter where on this planet you travel, there are ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL CATS.
ReplyDeletePurrs,

beautiful, are they strays?
ReplyDeleteThey belong to the Baobab Cultural Center and are well cared for. Unfortunately, many people in The Gambia are poor and they can't spoil the cats the way we do.

The open-air petting farm and zoo is enchanting enough to make you forget completely about the time. You can walk surrounded by deers that can't wait to be feed, coming along with the residents of the petting zoo and spend all the time in the world actively testing the various playgrounds for various ages and levels of difficulty. guided tours in Israel

ReplyDeleteEngland is one of my favorite places to visit. I've been to London several times, to York, and to Harrogate (love Betty's Cafe!). The best trip was when we took our 2 boys with us. That trip holds so many great memories. Best Monster Truck Show
