The Gambia - 12/1/13

After a dreadful nights sleep worrying about Geckos inside my hut, I was up before light and on my way to Abuko NR 45 mins drive north of Nemasu. The chef gave me a lift there and I arranged to meet him at 4.30pm, which he did. A couple of guides at the gate offered their services but I refused. No late evening walk but a quick Nightjar session after dinner was very productive.
