If you're looking for somewhere that little bit different,
that boasts all the trappings of a classic beach holiday with a good dose of
tropical paradise thrown in, Gambia is the
place to be.
In this wonderful place on
the west coast of Africa, holidays are all about taking it easy. With
sun-drenched beaches and cloudless blue skies, it's certainly not hard to do -
especially with all those hammocks strung between whispering palms, quaint
thatched beach huts serving up tempting refreshments, and powder-soft sand that
you're just aching to feel between your toes.
Dubbed the 'smiling coast of West Africa', the Gambia is
certainly a holidaymaker's paradise. Here you can enjoy a hearty welcome and
dive into the Gambian culture by tasting delicious cuisine and local
delicacies, either at your hotel or by enjoying a meal at a local restaurant.
But a trip to the Gambia is not your average beach break -
far from it. Beyond the classic combo of sun, sea and sand, holidays in Gambia
serve up a fascinating blend of history and culture. Join a local excursion to
experience the local way of life, or take a 'Roots tour' to discover the
notorious slave trade and the unforgettable impact it had on local Gambian
life.
Of course, Gambia is also home to an abundance of wildlife.
See magnificent animals in their natural habitat including acrobatic monkeys,
exotic birds and armour-plated crocodiles.Take a boat ride down the Gambian
River to see wildlife and natural scenery up close and personal, or enjoy an
excursion across its glorious landscapes, taking in soul-stirring scenery and
the type of views that will live with you forever.
