The relaxed pace of life, tropical climate, easy accessibility (only 6 hours flight from Europe
- no jet lag) and some of the friendliest people on earth make The Gambia an ideal holiday
destination. Cruise up the Gambia River onboard the Solar Queen
(Africa's first solar powered boat!) and Lady Hippo (our traditional Gambia pirogue) and see
chimpanzees, monkeys, hippos and the rich variety of colourful birdlife. |

Stay at a peaceful riverside lodge; try your luck at fishing, go birdwatching or simply relax in the warm
tropical climate well away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. |

At Bird Safari Camp (300km inland) the river is fresh water and the vegetation and wildlife is very
different to that at the coast. There are plenty of opportunities for meeting the locals: learn to play the Djembe;
visit a typical rural village and see how life here has remained unchanged by the passing of time; go
shopping in the local market and try your hand at cooking a traditional Gambian meal. |

At Tendaba Camp (155km inland) the river is still partially saline and it is here that you will find some of
the tallest mangroves in West Africa. The Baobolong Wetland Reserve is of particular interest to birdwatchers
although the outstanding wealth of birdlife here will enthrall anyone with an interest in nature and wildlife. |

The Gambia's coastal area also has lots to offer: Visit the nature reserve at Abuko; discover
some of The Gambia's unspoilt beaches in the south of the country; visit Tanji Village Museum;
see the sacred crocodile pool at Kachikally or spend a relaxing day at Makasutu Culture Forest.
Important! You do not need to stay at one of the big, impersonal hotels on the Gambian coast. If you book with us, you can choose between any of the following small, friendly hotels or ecolodges - Lemon Creek Hotel in Fajara, Hibiscus House in Brufut, Farakunku Lodges near Tujereng, Footsteps Ecolodge in Gunjur, or Boboi Beach Lodge or Sandele Eco-Retreat in Kartong in the south of The Gambia. Getting to The Gambia is easy and to save you money, we've made it very simple for you to find the best deal on your Gambia flight. |
