点评:We spent 12 days with Musa in June 2025 travelling in Gambia and Senegal. I should point out that the trip was exclusively photographic. The trip was well organized, we reached all the planned points and visited all the bird hides that we had agreed about before the trip. Also, we had all boat trips that we planned and took extra.
Musa is very punctual and responsible, caring and very easy to communicate with. His driver is very careful and a nice guy too.
Musa is an excellent and very experienced guide, who knows the birds very well and understands what a photographer needs. Musa never gives up trying to find the bird species on our target list, and at the same time tries to show the maximum diversity. Musa is also very patient, which is a big challenge for many guides that are working with demanding photographers. Musa also knows very well Gambia – Senegal regions and many birding places in some cases very small and secret 😊. Despite the fact that we were not in the recommended season, we managed to see 217 species, including some rare like Red-chested Cuckoo, Abyssinian Ground-Hornbill, Temminck’s Courser, Western Banded Snake-Eagle, Bataleur…. In one tour we saw all Kingfishers and Rollers species of Senegambia.
I can only say that, contrary to popular opinion, June is a great time to go on a photographic trip to The Gambia or Senegal, to focus on resident bird species.
The trip was much better than we could expected, and this is thanks to top guide Musa.
翻译:2025年6月,我们和Musa一起在冈比亚和塞内加尔旅行了12天。值得一提的是,这次旅行完全是为了摄影。行程安排得井井有条,我们到达了所有计划好的地点,参观了所有行前约定好的观鸟点。此外,我们还完成了所有计划好的乘船游览,并额外支付了费用。
Musa非常准时负责,体贴周到,而且很容易沟通。他的司机非常细心,人也很好。
Musa是一位优秀且经验丰富的导游,他对鸟类了如指掌,深谙摄影师的需求。Musa从未放弃寻找我们目标鸟类,同时努力展现鸟类的多样性。Musa也非常有耐心,这对于许多与高要求摄影师合作的导游来说是一个很大的挑战。Musa对冈比亚和塞内加尔地区以及许多观鸟胜地非常熟悉,有些地方甚至非常小巧隐秘😊。尽管我们当时并非在推荐的季节,但我们还是看到了217种鸟类,其中包括一些珍稀鸟类,例如红胸杜鹃、阿比西尼亚地犀鸟、红翅猎鸻、西部带纹蛇雕、蝙蝠……。在一次行程中,我们看完了塞内冈比亚所有种类的翠鸟和佛罗伦斯。
我只能说,与普遍的看法相反,六月是前往冈比亚或塞内加尔进行摄影旅行的好时机,可以专注于留鸟物种。
这次旅行比我们预期的要好得多,这要感谢顶级导游穆萨。
