About Foday

Foday Bojang is a well-known birding guide in The Gambia. He has been organizing and leading birding and photographing tours since 2005. He was born and raised in Pirang Village which is a well-known birding hotspot for most birders visiting the Gambia. He got a keen interest in birding and wildlife at a young age. His passion and love for nature and birds make him coordinate young youth of his village to do tree planting every year in his own home village PirangForest Park. By planting trees yearly, this kind of gesture is introduced by Mr. Foday to preserve the forest for the next generations to come.

 

Foday interest in birds and nature made him talk to his partner whom he founded The Gambia Birding Experience to build a photographing hide in the forest, which any income generated from photo hide will be plowed back into the forest to safeguard the premises and most importantly prevent the region from deforestation. 

 

Through his experience in birding and wide knowledge in the field, he was entrusted to handle the position of assistant social secretary of The Gambia Bird Guide Association from 2012 to 2016, then through his merit and dedication, he was promoted to Social Secretary from 2016 to 2022 (an organization that represents the interest of almost all birdwatchers in the Gambia). His hard work and respect for his job grant him this credit.
