About The Gambia

Although The Gambia is one of the smallest countries in Africa it has a rich and varied history and a wide range of landscapes all of which are worth seeing in your time there. The Gambia’s small size and the willingness of the people to help generally means all these places are readily accessible and will welcome you with open arms.

When you’re planning for a holiday in Gambia or are actually in the country itself, it could be easy, once you’re caught up in the blissful ease of beach life, to forget you’re actually in Africa! Well if you’ve come this far why not see more of the country and explore its fascinating culture, history and landscape? Despite the rudimentary road system and transport The Gambia is a relatively easy country to navigate and the people so friendly and helpful that getting around is a real joy. Below are some useful ideas for what do with your time in this unique country.
