Africa’s smallest nation certainly punches above its weight when it comes to sun, sea and adventure. Nestling on the Western edge of Africa and completely enveloped by Senegal, the Gambia has developed a unique national character to match its outstanding climate.

Over the past couple of decades, Gambia has become one of the safest and best-loved ways to enjoy some African sun. With bustling towns and vibrant wildlife, there’s a huge amount to explore beyond the picturesque coastal resorts. The locals are famous for giving tourists a warm welcome and we’re sure you’ll learn to love a cheeky haggle in one of Gambia’s colourful street markets.

Gambia’s tourist industry is entering a new phase of development with eco-friendly and boutique hotels popping up to cater to every taste.
