Tanbi Wetland Complex is a sprawling mangrove forest along the Gambia River, just south of Banjul. Visitors explore its winding creeks by boat, gliding through dense mangroves while observing diverse birdlife like herons, kingfishers, and ospreys. Monkeys and otters are common sights, and the tranquil atmosphere offers a peaceful escape from urban areas. The complex is also vital for local fishing communities, with stilt villages and fish drying racks adding cultural context. Guided tours provide insights into the ecosystem and its importance.
