昆塔·金特岛(原称詹姆斯岛)位于冈比亚河中游,由该岛及周边六炮台、布伦堡等7处遗迹共同构成。15世纪起,葡萄牙人最先在此建立据点,后经荷兰、英国殖民者更迭控制,逐渐成为奴隶贸易的关键中转站。岛上的堡垒遗址、阿尔布雷达村仓库等建筑残迹,记录了欧洲殖民者在西非的贸易活动轨迹。作为冈比亚河航道的重要节点,这里曾是非洲与欧洲早期接触的前沿,现以完整保存的殖民时期军事和商业设施,于2003年被列入世界文化遗产名录。

    Kunta Kinte Island: A testament to human resilience, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a poignant memorial to the Atlantic slave trade. More than 15,000 tourists annually visit the island, drawn by its haunting history and the legacy of its namesake, Kunta Kinteh

    It was an amazing place, it is visible from the shore on good days. However, it has been eaten up by erosion and the size has been shrinking. The place will need extra attention to make sure it doesn’t deteriorate. The guides are amazing, they capture the history really well.

    Wonderful guide from the Mandinka tribe. He explained everything in great detail with patience. The atrocities that occurred here are beyond words. Highly recommend a visit to understand the history of Gambia and specifically the Mandinkas and Jolas tribes that inhabit this area. You can almost feel the pain. The island almost seems forgotten about even though there is so much rich and important history that occurred on this land. It’s one thing to learn about the slave trade in history books but it’s another feeling completely to walk on the ground where it occurred. You arrive by car. Then take a small boat over to the island. Then your guide will walk you around the island and explain what happened. Short boat ride to return and then you can visit the museum. The museum was very good considering it is not very well funded and in a very remote location.

    A historic place that every person should visit to get a sense of man’s inhumanity to man. Slavery in all its forms is evil. This site must be preserved at any cost to remind us of the suffering ancestors went through.
