If you book anything through Gambian Experience you will pay top dollor I would steer well clear of them. If your adventourus you can get an air conditioned bus from Kanifing bus station (clean bus,you want the blue express,cost 350 one way) get off at Janjanboureh(Georgetown) stay overnight by the river at the Boabalong Guesthouse(£17 b&b per night),where manager Kebba will sort all your needs incl overnight to stellas island to see the chimps or anything else you wish to see.
