Step back in time with a visit to Kunta Kinteh Island, formerly known as James Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a powerful history. Once used as a holding point where Africans were taken before being shipped to the Americas and the Caribbean, the island today stands as a moving reminder of The Gambia’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. This trip is both educational and emotional, offering a unique opportunity to connect with Gambian history while exploring the villages of Albreda and Jufurreh.
