About The Gambia

The Gambia is a great destination for a winter sun holiday, not least because it is outside of the Eurozone! In fact the exchange rate for the Dalasi to the Pound is virtually the same as what it was 2 years ago, meaning your spending money still goes a long, long way!

Whilst The Gambia is one of the smallest countries in Africa it has a rich and varied history and a wide range of landscapes all of which are worth seeing in your time there. The Gambia’s small size and the willingness of the people to help generally means all these places are readily accessible and will welcome you with open arms.

When you’re planning for a holiday in Gambia or are actually in the country itself, it could be easy, once you’re caught up in the blissful ease of beach life, to forget you’re actually in Africa! Well if you’ve come this far why not see more of the country and explore its fascinating culture, history and landscape?
