The base for this enterprise is at the Banjul International Airport where Madox have a hanger. flights always end here, but we have known them to take off from the beach at Kololi, (left along the beach past the Badala beach bar) Infact they have a few places they can land.

We met Willy during our April 2001 visit when Dave Elk and son Arran had a trip and David and Carol McKee also had a flight up the coast round Banjul; and back to the airport over Lamin Lodge

The price is around £70.00 an hour.
From the airport to the coast and back is about 30 minutes
To Tendaba is around 1.25 hours

Willy has agreed to give GTS members a discount of around 10%. When booking please make sure you give your GTS membership number or take your card along with you.

The planes, have radio communications and up to three people can be flown at the same time, this depends on the availability of pilots.

Willy will collect passengers from their hotels and return them at the end of the flight, this service is included in the price.

Allow around 3 hours for the activity from being collected to arriving back at you hotel.

For the more dedicated flyers and potential pilots, Willy runs full training courses, ending in your pilots license, most course members get their papers in the two week course, a few return to finish the training on a second visit.
