The Gambia Experience is delighted to announce its return to the UK's biggest celebration of birds and wildlife, Global Birdfair 2025, taking place from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th July at Lyndon Top, Rutland Water. This much-loved annual event attracts birding enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and conservation supporters from around the world. 

Visitors to the fair are warmly invited to the Gambia Tourism Board stand, where The Gambia Experience will once again team up with GTB to share their first-hand knowledge. The tour operator's expert staff will be on hand throughout the weekend to offer insights into the exceptional birdwatching opportunities in The Gambia – widely regarded as West Africa's best-kept secret for birders. 

From colourful bee-eaters and kingfishers to majestic raptors and elusive forest species, The Gambia boasts over 600 species of birds in habitats ranging from mangroves and wetlands to savannah and gallery forest. Whether you're a casual bird lover or a seasoned ornithologist, The Gambia Experience offers a variety of tailor-made birdwatching holidays and guided tours on and around the majestic River Gambia, led by highly experienced local birding experts, ensuring a rewarding experience for every level of interest. 

Global Birdfair 2025 also supports a meaningful cause, with this year's proceeds contributing to the “Safeguarding Ocean Species” project – a global effort to protect seabirds such as the Antipodean Albatross from threats posed by longline fisheries. 

Early bird tickets are available now, with discounted pricing ending at midnight on Thursday, 3rd July 2025. A range of ticket types is offered, including single-day, three-day and family passes as well as student concessions – and free entry for under 18s. 

Book tickets online at globalbirdfair.org here.
