Wide Open Walls- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

The Wide Open Wallsin Gambia has transformed rural villages like Kubuneh into vibrant outdoor galleries, where homes and walls showcase over 400 murals by international and local artists. Initiated in 2009 by Lawrence Williams of Makasutu Culture Forest and Gambian painter Njogu Touray, the project spans 14 villages near the reserve, blending contemporary street art with traditional community life. Guided tours can be arranged through Makasutu for those looking to explore the striking, large-scale artworks set against Gambia's rural landscapes.
