For the past seven years he has been training and working as a bird guide in the Gambia and is the secretary of WABSA (West African Bird Study Association). Modou leads small groups to all the local sites on a daily basis and therefore has a constant awareness of where the more difficult birds can be found. He is familiar with the calls of over 200 species and is extremely sharp-eyed, having grown up in the Faraba Banta area which is renowned for its birds of prey. Modou is also happy to go further afield and will arrange a vehicle and driver according to the needs of the passengers and type of journey.

An excursion with JJ will always be a memorable experience because of the depth of knowledge which I bring to such outings. Whether we are visiting the local beauty spots of Abuko or Tangi Beach or travelling further afield to Sindola or Tendaba, you will be delighted with the magic I can bring to these occasions. If required I will hire suitable transport for these trips and arrange accommodation for overnight stays. If at all possible try to contact me before your visit so that preliminary arrangements can be made before your arrival. Junkung

Birding
with Junkung (JJ) is always a delightful experience because
of my extensive experience in the field. I come from the tourist
village of Tendaba which is 150km to the east of Banjul. Being
brought up in such a community, I have always been engaged in
such activities. On completion of my education I went straight
to the Department of Parks and Wildlife Management where I trained
professionally for eight years. Since that time I have been
engaged in escorting visitors who wish to enjoy the beauty of
nature in my country.Also available to Guide in: Gambia only.
