Book your experience with the locals in Tanji - Aminata Ceesay | My Gambia | My Magazine

Many people coming to The Gambia want to know, how people live and how they spend their day. Well each family is different, but many families do similar house chores in a similar way. Cooking on an open fire and dining from a shared bowl is still something that many families do. And visitors are welcomed to experience that with a family in Tanji. We talked with Aminata Ceesay, one of the hosts at Tanji village. We asked her to share her experience as a host with us.

The tour always starts with the host explaining how they do their daily activities in their communities. They teach the guests how to tie African wrappers, which is a favoured uniform when doing house chores. After that, a series of house tasks follow. They will head to the well, collect some water for domestic needs, sweep the compound, and do the manual washing of the dishes and clothes using a banko. Then the preparation of the lunch would begin. Girls will teach the visitors how to peel the vegetables, skin the fish, use firewood and stones to light the fire, and place the cooking pot on top of the stones to supply fire to the pot.
