Bijilo Holidays - Resort Guide

A true Taste Of Western Africa

Bijilo is ideally located as a quiet family resort to complement Gambia’s livelier beach resorts to the North. It is densely fringed with Rhun Palms and coconut trees as well as an assortment of wildlife such as hornbills & monkeys.

Gambia holidays offer all the usual water sports available in the coastal areas and you can try your hand at a round of golf, as long as you can take the heat

Bijilo is home to the Golden Beach and Bijilo Beach hotels as well as a number of small lodges and guesthouses. There are a number of restaurants & bars perfectly dotted along the shore such as the popular Bamboo Bar. Another treat for tourists is the chance to see traditional Serer fishermen landing their catches from their pirogues.

Well worth a visit is Bijilo Forest Park, The park is open all year round and home to several species of rare monkey and a wide variety of birds that attract birdwatchers from far and away. Here you can follow the signposted trails amongst the rich vegetation and towering termite mounds.

Although not as vibrant as some of the other Beach resorts such as Kololi, Bijilo is located well within easy reach of the main tourist hotspots including the Capital Banjul.

A true taste of Western Africa is always guaranteed at Bijilo.
