Working towards responsible community-based tourism along The River Gambia

We are Ninki Nanka Encounters.

Ninki Nanka Encounters Foundation is a small, new Gambian charity and UK community interest company (CIC), working towards the responsible development of the Ninki Nanka Trail as a community-based tourist destination.

We work on projects with communities, tourism businesses and local government to develop experiences, products and community-based tourism designed to create inspiring, cultural interaction between tourists and local people, and use tourism to create livelihood opportunities for host communities along The River Gambia.

Our activities also include responsible tourism education, preserving Ninki Nanka stories and intangible heritage, conservation and experiential and cultural immersion tours for small educational and special interest groups.
