After travelers are picked up from their hotels, we will travel to the Banjul Ferry terminal to begin our trip. The ferry will take us to Barra, where we will drive to Jufureh.

In Jufureh, we will visit the slave Museum, which contains artifacts from the slave trade in The Gambia, as well as maps and illustrations of the route from The Gambia to the Western world.

Used as a symbol of impossible freedom for the enslaved Africans, this monument stands to remind us of the history of the Fort James Island. We will visit this monument before going by boat to Kunta Kinteh Island.

The very first island that European explorers landed on in the 16th century in The Gambia. Though we will not visit it, we will past by it on our way to Fort James/Kunta Kinteh Island.

Fort James Island, renamed later as Kunta Kinteh Island was the main slave island in The Gambia from the 16th century to the 18th century. Travelers will see the ruins of the fort, the underground slave dungeon, cannons, and shores. We will also travel to see the descendants of Kunta Kinteh.
