Why go there?
Gambia is a great winter sun destination with temperatures averaging over 30 degrees and virtually no rainfall. An English speaking former British colony, with extremely friendly people, it is dominated by the river Gambia which runs through its heart and is characterized by its wonderful wide sandy beaches. Gambia provides a variety of accommodation at prices suitable to all budgets.
Resorts and Beaches
The busiest resort in Gambia is Kololi, with plenty of bars and over 30 restaurants serving a variety of different cuisines. Kololi also has a casino and numerous small shops. During the day it is fairly relaxed but the “strip” gets busy in the early evening through to the small hours.
Kotu is an up and coming resort but is much lower key than Kololi. It has a wide sandy beach and is perfect for families. There is also a golf course nearby.
Bijilo is a very quiet resort just 5 minutes drive from Kololi, with a long unspoilt sandy beach and a couple of hotels and beach bars. Cape Point and Bakou are small but developing resorts.
History and Culture
The Gambia was the first English settlement on the West coast of Africa. Many slaves were sent from Gambia to the Americas, causing American author Alex Haley to trace his ancestors back there for the TV series Roots.
During your holiday in the Gambia you can go on a “Roots” tour, taking in the ancient trading station at Abreda, the museum of slavery at Juffere or the fortress ruins at James Island, the centre of the slave trade
Activities
There is a wide range of activities and possible excursions in The Gambia. It is famous for its fishing, both deep sea and river water.
A four wheel drive truck excursion can be taken through the Gambian countryside, visiting traditional villages.
The Makasuto Nature reserve is a great excursion, exploring the dense sub tropical rain forest on foot or the mangrove swamps in dug out canoes.
Neighbouring Senegal provides great opportunities for seeing the variety of monkey species or bird watching. Also a must is a visit to Chimpanzee Island.
Overall, a holiday to Gambia provides an opportunity for a great relaxing Winter holiday with guaranteed sunshine at an affordable price.
