Ringing the changes with a black and white image from The Gambia. Which do you prefer colour or black and white? I particularly like using black and white for portraits as colour can be distracting. I somehow feel you connect with the people in black and white images. . . . . . #Gambia #WestAfrica #Africa #travel #TravelAddict #traveltheworld #travelphotography #travelpics #travelphotographer #travelblogger #travelafrica #travelfuture #neverstopdreaming #girlsborntotravel #wheretonext #Earthpix #BeautifulPlaces #LPpathfinder #ExploreOurWorld #GlobalExplorer #EarthFocus #Wanderlust #grabyourpassport #blackandwhite #portraits
The Gambia is known as the Smiling Coast of Africa! Everyone is welcoming and friendly... where are the friendliest people with the biggest smiles you've ever met? . . . . #Gambia #WestAfrica #Africa #travel #TravelAddict #traveltheworld #travelphotography #travelpics #travelphotographer #travelblogger #travelafrica #travelfuture #neverstopdreaming #girlsborntotravel #wheretonext #Earthpix #BeautifulPlaces #LPpathfinder #ExploreOurWorld #GlobalExplorer #EarthFocus #Wanderlust #grabyourpassport #people #smiles #smilingcoastofafrica #travelportrait
The pool and restaurant at Mandina Lodges. Love that you can bird watch from the pool. It's surrounded by the forest. Where is your favourite swimming pool? Hope you aren't bored of my Mandina images but as you may be able to tell, I'm in love with this place.

One of the cheeky baboons that live in Makasutu Forest. There's a troop of about 200 there and they regularly pass through Mandina Lodges (see previous images) causing chaos as they go. Last time I photographed them, a juvenile like this one snuck up behind me and I caught him (just in time) with his hand in my bag!

I promised some of you a peep inside the beautiful floating Lodges at Mandina, Makasutu Forest. Scroll through to see more including the open air bathroom. Every guest is warned not to leave their toiletries in there as the baboons will nick them! The room itself is simply furnished with a striking four poster bed in the middle. A verandah wraps around the lodge and there's a lovely shaded out door seating area overlooking the water. #travelmemories with the @gambia_experience. . . . . #Gambia #WestAfrica #Africa #travel #TravelAddict #traveltheworld #travelphotography #travelpics #travelphotographer #travelblogger #travelafrica #travelfuture #neverstopdreaming #girlsborntotravel #wheretonext #Earthpix #BeautifulPlaces #LPpathfinder #ExploreOurWorld #GlobalExplorer #EarthFocus #Wanderlust #grabyourpassport #fourposterbed #besthotelroomever
These are the wonderful floating lodges at Mandina in Makasutu Forest. Here Nellie from @wildjunket chats to a fisherman. It was wonderful to watch the world go by from these beautiful Lodges. At one point there were three canoes passing at once... rush hour, Gambian style! I asked one chap if he'd been fishing and he replied 'No! I'm your pool guy!' What a fabulous commute to work!

This was the view from my floating lodge in Makasutu Forest the following morning after yesterday's sunset shot. You can read all about my stay at Mandina Lodges on my blog, link in bio. I woke before dawn to the most amazingly loud dawn chorus from goodness knows how many different birds. When I got up a hot flask of coffee was waiting for me. I sat on my terrace and watched the forest awake.

Sunset over Makasutu Forest, taken from my floating river lodge. I've been lucky enough to have stayed at Mandina Lodges twice, both times for work, once hosting some bloggers here and once on a photo assignment with @gambia_experience. I'm so excited to be going back later this year on honeymoon. At last I'll be able to share my favourite place in the world with Neill! Lots more photos and videos from Makasutu to come! #travelmemories . . . . . #Gambia #WestAfrica #Africa #travel #TravelAddict #traveltheworld #travelphotography #travelpics #travelphotographer #travelblogger #travelafrica #sunset #travelfuture #africansunset #neverstopdreaming #girlsborntotravel #wheretonext #Earthpix #BeautifulPlaces #LPpathfinder #ExploreOurWorld #GlobalExplorer #EarthFocus #Wanderlust @larrymakasutu
