THE GAMBIA: The fascinating FISHING VILLAGE of TANJI (AFRICA)

THE GAMBIA: The fascinating FISHING VILLAGE of TANJI (AFRICA) SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Tanji Fishing Village (also spelt Tanjeh or Tanje) which is close to the Atlantic Ocean beach, in the northern section of the Kombo South District, West Coast Region of The Gambia, in West Africa. The settlement is 30km by road from the capital of Banjul, and approximately 12km southwest of Kololi resort, and adjacent to the Kombo Coastal Road. We are going to visit the area directly in front of the fishing village and which is a fish landing site, so it is definitely not suitable for swimming. Because it's a very active, working beach, you'll find it scattered with old, shredded gillnets, sea snail shells, plastic bags and bottles, and other things floating on the water or resting on the shore. The air is filled with the odour of smoked fish; an unimaginable number of seagulls hover overhead looking for scraps, fishermen land their afternoon catch from long African pirogues, passing buckets of catch onto the heads of local women, who then ferry it to the shore. Activity is frenzied and messy, but surprisingly efficient.
