Wassu Stone Circles

Wassu Stone Circles site is fascinating evidence of ancient African culture. There are 11 circles at Wassu, the tallest of which is almost 3 metres. It’s believed to be the ancient burial ground of kings and chiefs from over 1200 years ago. Local legend has it that there is a curse on anyone who disturbs those laid to rest there. You can get to the Wassu Stone Circles by bush taxi, instead of an organised tour. It’s a 5 hour journey from Banjul either way, so make sure you bring plenty of water with you.
