Gambia Holidays - Travel Guide

Beyond the beautiful beaches Gambia holidays offer some wonderful African culture to explore. If you can tear yourself away from the palm-lined sandy beaches for a little while, visit the colourful markets in Banjul, the capital of Gambia, or take a stroll through some of the small towns and villages near the coastal resorts where the friendly locals are welcoming of visitors.

For the adventurous, Gambia holidays can also include a river trip up the magnificent river Gambia, giving you the opportunity to see some of the awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife in Gambia including hippos, monkeys, chimps and maybe even the crocodiles.

Apart from heading to the beach Gambia Holidays also offer the botanical gardens at Bakau and nearby, the Kachikaly Crocodile Pool gives you the opportunity to see the Nile crocodile up close. An amazing 540 different species of birds are known to live in Gambia, a particularly surprising figure for such a small country, making Gambia holidays a highly attractive prospect for the keen birdwatcher.

There is ample opportunity to sample the delicious Gambian cuisine alongside many other international dishes in the Hotels and resorts around the coast.

A boat trip along the River Gambia is a Gambia holiday treat and an excellent way to see the natural beauty of the country. A stroll around one of the local markets will help you to get the feel for the Gambian culture and hopefully pick up some good souvenirs.

The coast is the best place to soak up the sun in a relaxing, comfortable environment. For sporty types 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.
