Unspoilt, The Gambia is situated on the beautiful West African coast.

One of the smallest countries in Africa. The Gambia is mostly flat and shaped like a crooked finger, a narrow strip of land on either side following the course of the majestic River Gambia, from which it takes its name.

Known as the smiling coast, The Gambia has so much to offer all year round from its unsophisticated charm, miles of deserted palm fringed beaches, spacious tropical gardens and nature reserves to quality hotels, craft markets, interesting excursions and some of the most friendly people on earth.

WHEN TO GO The peak tourist season lasts from October through April, which coincides with the visits of the migratory birds. November to February is a good time to travel as it is dry and relatively cool. The wet season is from June to October
