Thank you so much Mark for showcasing the beauty of Africa. My mum and I have been a fan of yours since 2017, your vlogs promotes humanity, tolerance and love for everyone. The way you integrate with different cultures and traditions is expectational. I wish everyone in the world was as down to earth as you. I’m also from West Africa, precisely Freetown, Sierra Leone.

From perfecting the porridge to the unique cooking techniques, every step showcases the cultural richness of these communities.

Just so you get the best of your efforts, be sure that 'authentic' Gambian dishes are made for you ie no adaptations from Senegal or Nigeria. The Gambia is quite free flow making now the clothing, language and food all diminishing in originality. The Gambia are next to or indeed within Senegal and so have almost all things the same yet it is fact that the language and food has always had differences. As you've been to Senegal (great tour ✨) the food in The Gambia will look the same but there will be taste variation due to ingredients added or ommited and cooking steps or ingredient processing method. It would be beneficial to discuss this with your host prior to your arrival. 'Plead' for local authentic food hahaha. Thank you again, be blessed always 🙏🏽✨🍲🌶️🌶️
