THE GAMBIA: A country of ferries, rivers and mangroves // EPS. 6

From Senegal we drove to the Gambia - the smallest country on Africa's mainland that is dominated by the Gambia river. We took the slowest ferry ever, made new friends at the border (I included a little "guide" on how to cross borsers in Westafrica ;) ) and went on another ferry from the town Barra to Gambiad capital Banjul. On the way we stopped several times to soak in the atmosphere and fly the drone above the beautiful mangrove forest.

//NOTE: videos were recorded before I had a Youtube Channel - initially used for my Instagram stories. That's the reason for the close ups of my face - they were recorded vertically. I still decided to use them - that's the authentic footage I have and I can't change that anymore. Remember: I just started out with filming and cutting - its a learning curve and far from perfect! If you mind seeing my nose hair every now and then, I can highly recommend you to skip this part of the journey and join again when I will publish my next trips after the country Benin with hopefully improved footage!

I'm liking your "format misadventures", that is the portrait vs. landscape shooting mode, as it is different. It also feels like a signature style. Glad to be on board and following your adventures, big and small.

The Gambian ferry system could teach the Ocracoke/Hatteras ferry system a few things🤣.
What an awesome adventure.

Another fantastic journey, thanks 👍 ❤️

[restless_soulism]

Kind of short and travel vlog type documentary, was expecting the channel to be more hands on offroad bike adventure type. I was looking forward to learn from your experience. There are enough travel channels with 1000s of drone footage. Show us your day, travel, hardships and authentic interaction with locals.
