Overview

Gambia

Enclosed in Senegal, this former British colony is a narrow strip that extends over about 12.5 miles on each side of the Gambia River. Banjul, the country's only city, is located on the Atlantic Coast and has some of Africa's most beautiful beaches. As well as seaside stays, Gambia also offers boat excursions on the River, which is a good way of discovering the country's natural beauties. Among them, the Abuko Natural Reserve hosts birds, crocodiles, monkeys, and antelopes.

pros

  •  The country has not yet been invaded by tourists.
  •  Absolutely unique bird reserves.
  •  The population is very welcoming.

cons

  •  Local people are always trying to offer their help to tourists, but refusing politely and firmly will make persistant people stop.
  •  Concerning road infrastructures, there is only one single tarred road.

Our Editorial team's advice

Crossing Gambia leaves traces...in your wallet! In fact, taxes on temporary visas, required for a couple of hundred or so miles travelled, seem to be prohibitive...
As 80 % of the population are Muslim, it is recommended to have a respectful attitude and a decent dress code, in all circumstances.
