Banjul - Gateway to the Gambia
A country little wider than the river that shares its name, The Gambia is a tropical paradise waiting to be discovered, whether as a beach holiday with a different flavour or a chance to see African wildlife on a river cruise of a lifetime.
Situated on the west coast of Africa the attraction is simple, you’re only a short flight away from a tropical destination - just over 6 hours from the UK and, as it’s in the same time zone, there’s no jet lag to contend with. Glorious African sunshine and temperatures averaging 31 degrees combined with friendly English-speaking locals and the varied and mouth-watering cuisine make The Gambia different enough to be exotic, but easily accessible to visitors from the UK. What’s more, it’s outside the Euro Zone so your pounds go that little bit further.
Whatever style of holiday accommodation you’re looking for, The Gambia has something to suit all with many properties exclusively available to UK visitors through The Gambia Experience. Choose between simple 2 grade African style properties, family-friendly beachfront hotels, luxury 5* resorts or intimate boutique hotels and Spa.
With its superb climate, many holidaymakers may not want to stray too far from their hotel pool or the nearby sandy beach, however The Gambia has a fascinating culture to discover as well as fantastic bird watching and fishing opportunities. The Gambia Experience offers a wide range of day trips to give a flavour of the country as well as a number of opportunities to discover more of the region including tours of neighbouring Senegal.
