The Gambia may be mainland Africa’s smallest nation, but it offers a much-varied landscape, featuring sandy beaches, lush tropical forests, swamps, marshes and large areas of wooded savannah. The River Gambia, one of Africa’s great waterways, dominates the country, and The Gambia’s parks, reserves and riverbanks are a major draw for ecotourists; they harbour monkeys, crocodiles, a small population of hippos and well over 500 bird species.
Visitors keen to experience West African music and rural culture may choose to travel off the beaten track, spending time in simple up-country villages. But, for many, it is The Gambia’s idyllic cocktail of sunny days, warm welcomes and relaxing Atlantic beach resorts which lures them to this little slice of Africa.
