This first expedition into West Africa is an opportunity to learn, practice and experience photography from three guides and is open for eight to ten explorers.
The Gambia is rich in culture, history, and natural beauty. Situated on the west coast, the smallest country of the continent, it reaches inland following the course of the seven hundred-mile River Gambia, bordered on either side by Senegal, home to nine historically important tribes all of whom live harmoniously together. The country is blessed with much wildlife; aardvarks, hyaena… Please visit Neale James/Photowalk website for all the details.

Portraits of Beaters and Pickers at a Surrey pheasant shoot, Surrey UK.
Pickers often work in tandem with gun dogs or retrieving dogs to aid in the efficient recovery of shot game. They may direct or assist the dogs in locating and retrieving birds, enhancing the overall efficiency of the process.
Beaters aim to create a controlled movement of game birds, ensuring they fly in a predictable direction for the guns to take safe and ethical shots. They use flags, sticks, or other noise-making devices to guide and influence the flight path of the birds

One of our early forays into filmmaking. A short film – edited by Jason Florio / filmed by Jason Florio and Helen Jones-Florio – about our 2012-13 expedition to find the source of the River Gambia in the Fouta Djallon Highlands of Guinea, West Africa. Along with two Gambian friends, fishermen Abdou and Ebou, in search of the source of one of Africa’s last major free-flowing (as yet, it has not been dammed) rivers, we began the journey by land from The Gambia to Guinea’s highlands, where the river starts, tricking from beneath the rocks into what is little more than the size of a small puddle. We then paddled the river, in two canoes, from the border of Guinea/Senegal, following the river back to The Gambia, where the now mighty river flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
